Moxie By Jennifer Mathieu - Restarting June 18th 2021

[Abi]

Moxie girls fight back!

Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with her small-town Texas high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes and hallway harassment. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.

Viv’s mom was a punk rock Riot Grrrl in the ’90s, so now Viv takes a page from her mother’s past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She’s just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. Pretty soon Viv is forging friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, and she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.

7. (view spoiler)[ It was a nice idea. I want to see where this would head. At first I thought this would be some sort of a badass feminist girl with an I dont care attitude, seems like the development is yet to take place (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

8. (view spoiler)[ That was horrible >.< I cant believe such things happen in American schools even now. And the girls dont speak up! (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

12. (view spoiler)[ I dont get why Viv is soo disappointed in not being kissed. I mean it was just the first night of hanging out. Uhh. Whats it about gurls and kissing? (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

17. Wtf??

[Fuzaila]

22. (view spoiler)[ I feel kinda sad that Viv has told Luci but not her mom. And yeah Seth doesnt feel all that cutesy anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

Done. Loved it! (view spoiler)[ The final march! Emma being the cebter of attention and Luci posting it all online 😃 I kinda gobbled it all up. Loved it (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I agree that it's a little slow getting Viv to figure out she's a feminist and really do something. But I am excited to see where it goes. The heart and stars on your hands was a good idea to identify other girls who feel the same, now they need to meet up. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ That dress code thing was bullshit. I'm glad the girls stood up to it. And the Moxie bake sale was a good idea. I think Seth was probably nervous and maybe didn't know how much she liked him. She should give him a chance. (hide spoiler)]

I agree! Give it some time woman! And she could make a move to let him know she's interested as well.

[Aly]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ This is ridiculous! To have an assembly with just girls and tell them they're wrong is crazy. I wish Claudia would tell the police about Mitchell grabbing her. Ugh! Those boys and administration better get what they deserve. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ The moxie fund raiser was awesome and I'm so glad other girls are taking up the moxie name to unite and help each other. And I knew that Mitchell was a sleazeball and I hope all the girls and the non sucky guys join the walk out. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Fuzaila wrote: "Done. Loved it! [spoilers removed]"

I agree! The end was awesome.

[Aly]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ I loved the unity of the walkout! And that they didn't make Emma this awful person and Viviana invited her into her group. I thought this was a great girl power book and I loved it! (hide spoiler)]

Hey, have you started?

[Evelyn]

Hey! yes I have! I’m about 18% through so far

[Evelyn]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ Pretty good so far! It's awful that boys in this 90's school actually treated girls like this, so sexist and all. The only boy that's alright is Seth. Which is why I love the topic of this book! I love what Viv is doing with the moxie girls fighting back. Not a fan of the romance? so far though. (hide spoiler)]

[Harshada]

Omg, I didn't know it was of the 90's cuz this shot still happens in my school. We were discussing about fear in the class and a guy said seeing girls without makeup is scary. I mean seriously? I was just so frustrated and started reading moxie it's going good now I'm not a fan of the romance either. Btw did u read the dedication? it's brilliant

I have not read it yet, but I definitely will now! It sucks that happened inn your school, some boys think they can just say and do whatever they want to women and it's disgusting!

[Evelyn]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[ What happened to Claudia makes me so sick. And the fact that the teacher didn't even care???? Are you kidding me!! WTF. The men in this school need to me fired. Seth is the only "good guy" and even he had the audacity to say "not all boys" while him and Viv were having a serious conversation, like not the right time. Seth is just getting on my nerves and he's so annoying like he literally is doing nothing for this story. (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

Chapter 19
(view spoiler)[ Oh my god please. It's like Seth isn't even trying to understand all the girl's pov. And all she wants to do is kiss him and have sex with him it's so annoyinggg (hide spoiler)]

Yup, it's disgusting and the worst part is that teachers don't even do anything because few of them are sexist as well. I read most of this book after that incident and I found it so relatable

[Harshada]

Evelyn wrote: "Chapter 15
[spoilers removed]"

I totally agree with everything. I personally think very few males stand against it cuz most of them are like Mitchell and the rest of them are like Seth who keep defending others. I mean I know not all boys are the same but that isn't helping right now. he could have supported Vivian more

[Harshada]

Evelyn wrote: "Chapter 19
[spoilers removed]"

Yes its annoying

[Evelyn]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Really glad all the girls got to do their walkout and that the teachers got what they deserved.
It upsets me that John was never in the story cause like what was the point, but I mean at least Viv is giving him a chance lol (hide spoiler)]

[Harshada]

I finished it as well but I guess I forgot who john is
