💫The book focuses on Sexism, Feminism and the fight to change the world.
💫I resonated in the story, as some events mirror my own and the parents child relationship.
💫Loved the witness
📈Wished there was more depth, sometimes.

i loved this book ! ive read the other two spinster club books but this one is my favourite. such an interesting plot and very character driven story . a really inspirational story that’s really heartwarming. my only issue is is that it’s not very diverse . all of the main characters are either straight white women or straight white men . for a book about feminism you’d think it could be more diverse .

I adored this book. It is my favourite book in the Spinster Club series.
After a horrible attack by a pair of grim men when walking to college, Lottie has reached her breaking point of all the sexism girls experience daily. She is inspired to start a project where she spends a month calling out every sexist thing she sees and documents it online.
This book was so inspiring, it has motivated me to start standing up for the right thing even more. Lottie's passion for her project is amazing. As a teenager myself, it was wonderful to see 17 year old Lottie doing something so powerful and impactful, as often teenagers aren't given nearly as enough credit as we deserve. I especially love that Lottie was able to achieve all she did whilst still being entirely herself.
The only thing that could make this book better is if it featured more diversity. In the 'a letter from Holly' at the end of the book, it says " even with three whole books to explore feminism, I felt the spinsters and I have only exposed the tip of the iceberg that is inequality. I wasn't able to touch properly on feminism and how it relates to race, or disability, or sexuality, or gender identity, or class." I am glad the author mentions that there is more to discuss and I hope that she writes a book in the future that covers this further.
I feel like this quote portrays the book well: "I had already started to change things. My project had started something. It had sown seeds, it had reached people. It had lit fires, it had opened mind, opened minds, changed opinions, raised eyebrows, started dialogue"
As with all the books in this series, I adore how friendship is shown in this book. I love that they make an effort to include Megan.
I am really looking forward to reading the Spinster Club Special, ...And a Happy New Year? , to see how the characters in my favourite book series are getting on.

I enjoyed this more than the previous book, I felt the character was less annoying and the story flowed better. If I was younger I would have enjoyed this more, the lower rating is probably due to the story with Will - didn’t like that. Also this probably just isn’t my kind of book!
