okay for some reason this took me so long to finish whenever I picked it up I just felt kinda slumpy which is really annoying because the story is fantastic.

Lottie's story is incredible and I loved every minute of watching her fight sexism and and I loved how it showed that not all people are going to support you even if you're doing the right thing. She was brave, badass and took no shit from anyone which is honestly what I aspire to be. And as always the friendships here is as AMAZING as it can get. The romance however was kinda meh to me, I did really feel it and didn't like Will as much as I thought I would.

This is a feminism book and I loved it. I like the representation of woman and people with mental disorders (OCD). However, I do wish there were more diversity: for example, more BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ characters. Nonetheless, I loved this book and would definitely recommend it.

I just loved it. It’s the perfect amount of feminism, activism, advocating mental health and still funny, romantic, realistic and still complex. I just wished there were Trigger Warnings.

Once again Holly Bourne has made me fall in love with her books. I cannot suggest this book enough! It is a perfect representation of feminise for people who are starting to become interested in feminism. I love Lottie so much she is such a strong female character which more books need! Holly Bourne is a god who EVERYBODY needs to experience!!

What's a Girl Gotta Do? is a brilliantly empowering, witty read, filled with a cast of badass women, kickass friendships, adorable romances and infuriating stories that make you want to shout at the world. 

Ever since I picked up Am I Normal Yet? I've fallen in love with Holly Bourne's comfortable, funny and emotive writing style and even more so with the cast of the Spinster Trilogy. I don't want to say goodbye to these characters but this was the perfect way to do so. I throughly enjoyed each and every page of this addictive book, so much so that I ended up staying up until 5am to finish it... 

My only criticism is that whilst this was brilliantly feminist and empowering, it essentially wasn't intersectional at all. The reasons behind this were touched on in the book and were explained in the authors note, as not being able to speak about everything or wanting to speak for anyone but I feel as though there definitely could have been a respectful way around that, as this book very much focused on feminism from the POV of a cast of white, straight, cis women? There for portraying one type of decision and a very one sided view on feminism. Which leaves me with the question, is it really true feminism if it's not intersectional, when feminism is all about equality for all?...

With all the being said, I love this book, the writing and the characters. I've loved all three books in this trilogy for completely different reasons. Each one has been a totally different reading experience. It's been heartbreaking, relatable, funny, adorable, painful and a lot of fun.
