The hilarious, heartbreaking and unapologetically feminist novel from queen of YA Holly Bourne, perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Amber Smith.
Lottie has had enough. She's tired of being sexually harassed, interrupted and dismissed. So for one month, she decides to call out every bit of sexism she sees - no matter the consequences.
With the reluctant help of film-student Will (who's annoyingly cute for an anti-feminist), her project goes viral. But as the backlash intensifies both online and off, Lottie starts to wonder: can one girl really make a difference? And more importantly, will speaking up cost her more than she ever imagined?
"Brings to mind the late, great Louise Rennison... A book to press into the hands of every teenage girl you know." The Bookseller

A powerful and inspirational read, and part of a true gem of a series... I will be pushing this series into the hands of everyone, ever.
A strong series ender, driving home the overriding messages at the heart of this series about feminism, friendship and standing up for what you believe in... A thought-provoking, inspiring read that takes you on an emotional journey and makes you feel proud to be a girl.
A 'turn of the century series', it has sparked such passion, honesty and strength. At the end of this book I felt strong and I felt proud to be who I am... We have a voice and Holly Bourne's books are reason of that! Spinster Club forever!
Bourne occupies neglected territory in the world of teenage fiction and makes a success of her undertaking. Bourne takes a deliberately risky attitude towards storytelling, as her characters do towards life.
Bourne's political and feminist sensibilities occasionally come across as over-egged, but her snack-scoffing, wisecracking teen characters feel real and vividly alive. Belly-bustingly funny, Bourne also demonstrates how constant, tiny pinpricks can bleed girls' confidence dry.
