Holly Bourne is the author of one of my favourite book series ever! Therefore I was very excited when this came out and have been dying to talk to you about it. I really liked this book however it wasn’t as good as the other 3, for reasons that will be mentioned soon. I liked that there was a huge get together for New Years Eve and everyone mentioned in the previous 3 books were in it which was nice as you got to see some characters that hadn’t been mentioned in a while. I was pleased that Kyle was a main character (ish) in this book. The book was in sections from each persons point of view (Evie, Amber and Lottie) which is different to the others, but I liked it. However, I didn’t like that there wasn’t much happening in this book apart from a party at Amber’s house for New Years Eve. It was a small book, but more things could have happened. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the ending, it wasn’t as good as some endings for some books I have read. But apart from those 2 little negatives, I really enjoyed it and was so happy that Holly Bourne  wrote another even if it wasn’t as good as the other 3. I give this book an 8 out of 10 and hope all you feminists out there enjoy this book and enjoy the rest of the series as well.

What’s a girl gotta do? by Holly Bourne

spinsterBlurb: 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…

So, as you probably know, I am a huge fan of Holly Bourne books and loved ‘Am I normal yet’ so I was really excited when this book came out. My friend lent it to me and I loved it!!! This book is about Lottie starting a feminist revolution to stop all sexism. Unfortunately, things start to go wrong. I thought that this book was amazing and can’t wait to read Holly’s new book that has just come out called ‘And a Happy New Year’. There are some new characters in this book who I really liked for example, Megan and Will. Even though they both appeared in the other books briefly, their characters really stood out and you got to know a lot more about them. This book is 14+ for a reason and I suggest that if you are younger, it is probably not the book for you as the content is very mature. I give this book a 10 out of 10 stars and aim it at girls, but by all means, boys, give it a read! ENJOY!!!
