This book was fun even tho it, in the beginning it was quite annoying because of the main character: "not like other girls, I don't like make-up, I love reading and writing, i don't dress sup very well etc."... 

It is an enemies-to-lovers / rivals-to-lovers trope. It is a contemporary young adult about the high-school's newspaper team. She is a hard to understand person, everyone finds her difficult because she wants everything to be right. He is an ex-baseball start who starts writing for the newspaper.. and he decided to go against her for the executive post in the magazine.. his winning triggers a feminist move in the entire school.  and the rest you should read/listen to see what is happening

It was fun and I like the main focus on sexism in schools not just for white persons but for Asian and Black women. I think it was a bit to aggressive, like it only focused on why only women should get everything, but not about equality and mutual respect and support (maybe a bit at the end but still,  it wasn't explained what feminism really is and what they really stand for). 

The romance was cute and funny, some things were bad.....
