“A smart romance with heart and guts and all the intoxicating feelings in between.” —Maureen Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of 13 Little Blue Envelopes
Emergency Contact meets Moxie in this cheeky and searing novel that unpacks just how complicated new love can get…when you fall for your enemy.
Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her school paper. That is, until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len—who is tall, handsome, and male—just seems more like a leader.
When Eliza’s frustration spills out in a viral essay, she finds herself inspiring a feminist movement she never meant to start, caught between those who believe she’s a gender equality champion and others who think she’s simply crying misogyny.
Amid this growing tension, the school asks Eliza and Len to work side by side to demonstrate civility. But as they get to know one another, Eliza feels increasingly trapped by a horrifying realization—she just might be falling for the face of the patriarchy himself.

Een boek over feminisme, dus ik dacht: leuk! Zin in! Helaas was het vaak een toxic soort van feminisme. Het soort waarbij je kennelijk niet verliefd mag zijn, of met mannen mag omgaan want dan ben je geen feminist? Uhm what type of outdated definition of feminism is this. Verder vrij saai. En de dingen waar feminisme juist om draait ontbraken in veel gevallen. Ook bijzonder dat een middelbare school in plaats van de studenten te informeren over feminisme and ruimte voor discussie te creëren gewoon doet alsof er niks aan de hand is. Al met al ben ik geen fan en vond ik het een gemiste kans voor een goed feministisch YA boek.

This was a cute book. Granted, the inner ramblings were a little long sometimes, but this is supposed to be the inner monologue of a 16/17 year old that is now grappling with a new concept for the first time. Overall, this was an easy to read YA novel, with a diverse set of characters and an interesting description of what the life of a 17 year old girl could be today!
