I want Moxie! As Vivian comes into her own by finding an appropriate, albeit secret, outlet to fight against the misogyny in a small Texas town, we also get to see a regular high school student. So many books today have something that is extremely unique about the protagonist from cancer to even proposagnosia. Moxie's girls, though, are unique in their commonality- they've never been kissed, they are girls who still do sleepovers, and they are nice. It's refreshing. And while it seems extreme to have the special attention of an administration devote most of its time to football, it would only work in Texas to be believable. My only problem with the book is that the students do not go to their parents for serious issues (sexual assault), or the police. In that, I wish alternative avenues could have been addressed somehow.
