Jasmine and Chelsea are sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post everything online—poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial macroaggressions she experiences—and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by online trolls. When things escalate, the principal shuts the club down. Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices—and those of other young women—to be heard.

0 0I really enjoyed this book a lot. It did feel a bit disconnected at some points, because Jasmine's character had such different and personal issues to deal with, that Chelsea's chapters sometimes felt a bit strange to have been thrown in there and too light hearted. I did like that though, because when I read the first chapter and found out Jasmine's dad had cancer, I was kind of scared it would be all about that. While it is also about that, it's not the main topic in the book and I'm really glad for that. Overall, it was a great and very enjoyable book. I would definitely be interested in reading more books by these authors
