The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven

5.0

I recommend this book to everyone.
This book is funny, feminist and... just great!
(Also the cover, guys!)

Following a sex scandal, Izzy O'Neill has to navigate being socially excluded.
Izzy is such a great narrator! I cannot wait for the sequel next year. She is funny. Her narration really reminded me of how Percy Jackson narrated his story. Think sassy, great references and nice funny commentary.
Her best friend Ajita is also hilarious and together they have a nice comedic duo thing going on.
Izzy's grandmother Betty is also so great. I love Betty. She is a great, funny, modern grandmother we would all wish we had.

As for the feminist elements, this book explores (female) sexuality and the double standard around it. The message it sends is just so, so important.
That is why I genuinely recommend this book to everyone.

(Also cannot wait to meet Laura Steven at YALfestNL2018!!)
