What's a Girl Gotta Do? cover

"Brings to mind the late, great Louise Rennison... A book to press into the hands of every teenage girl you know."The Bookseller

HOW TO START A FEMINIST REVOLUTION:
1. Call out anything that is unfair on one gender
2. Don't call out the same thing twice (so you can sleep and breathe)
3. Always try to keep it funny
4. Don't let anything slide. Even when you start to break...

Lottie's determined to change the world with her #Vagilante vlog. Shame the trolls have other ideas...

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. * Snuggling on the Sofa *
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. * Jess Hearts Books *
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! * Never Judge A Book By Its Cover *
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. * Books for Keeps *
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. * The Guardian *
