Diary of a Confused Feminist by Kate Weston

Diary of a Confused Feminist (Diary of a Confused Feminist)

by Kate Weston

Meet Kat Evans: Feminist. Overthinker. Hot mess.
A hilarious antidote to our Insta-perfect world, Diary of a Confused Feminist is for girls who want to do it right but always feel they're getting it wrong ...

15-year-old Kat wants to do GOOD FEMINISM, although she's not always sure what that means. She also wants to be a writer, get together with Hot Josh (is this a feminist ambition?), win at her coursework and not make a TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT of herself at all times.

But the path to true feminism is filled with mortifying incidents, muddling moments and Instagram hell. And it doesn't help that Hot Josh is just, well, properly, distractingly hot.

And when everything at school starts to get a bit too much, Kat knows she's lost her way, and the only way forward is to ask for help ...

Bold, authentic and laugh-out-loud funny, Kat's diary fearlessly navigates her way through life, love and teenage anxiety.

For the first 75% of this book absolutely nothing happened, I would liken this book to Louise Rennison's writing and I really just didn't enjoy this. The last 25% was an anxiety diagnosis, and what seemed to be a full recovery - nothing about this book felt even remotely realistic and I wouldn't recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
