This book is way different than the movie. Its significantly better; The protagonist has more of a back bone. This is a great feminist ya book. It even discusses how boys can’t understand what its like being a girl, they usually get defensive when talking about it, you don’t need to be defensive, you need to listen.

i loved seth so much. the book was easy to read, very relatable and better than my expectations! i thought it would be cringy, but it isnt at all, and i think it gives a good representation of girls in high school.

Vivian Carter is angry and fed up with the sexist culture at her high school in Texas. The football boys get away with sexist remarks, wearing gross T-shirt’s, and groping girls in the hallway. Vivian is done just standing by and takes a page from her mom’s rebellious 90’s Riot Grrrl phase and writes up an anonymous zine that creates waves in her high school. Read the book to find out if all Viv’s hard work ends up making a difference! 

Psst: also now an Amy Poehler movie on Netflix!

There are no graphic descriptions of Rape or Sexual Assault—there are just girls who talk about it happening to them in general terms.
