Beckett Carlisle is having a rough time. He's just trying to enjoy senior year, but the Feminism Alliance Club keeps interfering. Specifically, Imogen Takinami, club president and possibly the most irritating human on the planet, who's hell bent on spreading the disease to everyone at school, and Beckett won't have any of it. Meanwhile, his best friend is being weird, his sister's always complaining about him, and, because of "feminism," girls have started to shoot him down left and right. Worst of all, however, is the sinking realization that maybe, just maybe, Beckett was wrong.
And if there's one thing Beckett refuses to be, it's wrong. But sometimes, 'right' and 'wrong' isn't what's important--it's the truth that matters.
Review:
Okay, so, I might have a little hero-worship thing going on for this author. But, like, a Colin Creevey hero-worship thing, not a creepy one. Let's make that distinction very clear. I'm annoying but not worth killing, and I can be helpful. Just not according to my mom. But yeah, I digress.
Let's talk about this book. This is the second book by the same author I'm putting on here, but really, this book deserved a place of it's own, just like it's got a special place in the cold empty cavern most would call a heart. It calls to mind fond memories of rather violent discussions on the merits of feminism with my seventh grade maths teacher... ah, the good times.
Beautiful story, pressing issue, kinda sweet main characters... what more could a feMENist ask for? Read. It. It's not too long either, definitely worth it. I like how Beckett's stance against feminism isn't grossly exaggerated and exceedingly stupid, but often logical - narrow minded, though. It's great that our main feminist isn't always in the right, either, and that the author treats feminism with the respect, but more importantly, finesse, that it deserves.
I think Brooke's my favourite character!
As they say, there's a reason the most powerful storms are named after women.
Bonus: It's completed.
