I love Moxie. Thanks to the Bookoplathon I had an excuse to finish it so quickly. This book made me smile and laugh but also cry. Mathieu did an incredible job writing about why feminism is so important, also for young girls. She even made sure to hint at how it is even more difficult for women of colour and/or LGBTQIA+-women.

In Moxie, high school junior Vivian is starting to feel fed up with how the boys and girls are treated differently. When there are dress code checks, it seems to only impact the girls at her high school. When some of the guys "play" the bump 'n' grab "game", there seem to be no consequences even if the "game" goes too far. So inspired by her mom's old zines, Vivian decides to make her own called Moxie.

The book includes so many great conversations about feminism, what it stands for and just girls helping girls which is always great to see. I also liked Vivian's conversation with her love interest because since men do not have these experiences they sometimes do not understand, especially boys in high school.

Spoiler

So after a conversation with her mother, she realises she may have been a bit harsh - understandably - and that Seth is not perfect but that he is really trying to understand and that's all we can ask.

I absolutely loved it and I really recommend Moxie to everyone!
