Comfort her when she cries and wipe away her tears. Take her for long walks at night. Buy her food Always remind her how much you love her. I am so glad someone asked! I will just list down the basics most importantly a genuine interest in her and her interests, and not just coz you wanna date her or worse hook up with her Respectsome guys just think of girls as objects that they can own, and throw away when they please.

Please respect us and our feelings. Almost makes me cry, all the guys that came into my life were more or less perfect for me, I was willing to let go of materialistic things like looks, height, caste, even religion. All I wanted was for them to put there ego aside for a minute and thing about the relationship. Intellect, I don't know if this is a must for all girls but to me this point weighs much higher than looks, physique, etc etc.

The guy needs to be able to make smart, witty, interesting conversation. He needs to have higher goals and not be just confined to the relationship. Funny, now tell me who doesn't like a funny guy??

This one is a personal one, he needs to be good and maths and physics coz that's like a major turn on for me. Also I love nerdy guys not macho muscular, playboy, bike riding types. Those kind of guys make me cringe. The answer will depend on the age of the girl. At that stage, the only thing matter is the guy is cute. At that age, she looks for someone who will be fun to be with and allow her to study with peace. Some find their true love in college and get married after college or by College is the right place to find a life partner since both will be spending lot of time together and are still too young and innocent to be damaged.

I want to thrust this entire trilogy into the hands of every teenage girl in the country. Aug 06, Claire rated it it was ok. Reading the acknowledgements at the end - 'I wasn't able to touch properly on feminism and how it relates to race or disability or sexuality, or gender identity or class' Why if the author is so passionate about these issues and systematic inequalities did we end up with 3 white straight protagonists exploring how to navigate heterosexual relationships with sometimes even pretty???

Can you tell I didn't like Will??? Looking at the recommended feminism at the back as well, I can't help but feel it confirms the 'white-staight feminism' issue I have with the Spinster Series which can I note While this was definitely my favourite of the series, I'm a little disappointed in the trilogy as a whole.

Evie, Amber and Lottie are all straight confirmed white assumed I'm more sure that Evie and Amber are white but Lottie could be POC, but it's up to the author to say in the text and she didn't so I really wished there had been more of a discussion on feminism linked with race and sexuality and gender identity, but While this was definitely my favourite of the series, I'm a little disappointed in the trilogy as a whole. I really wished there had been more of a discussion on feminism linked with race and sexuality and gender identity, but at the same time I'm glad that it's not because other wise it wouldn't have been own voices, and those aren't stories Holly Bourne can tell.

So, I'm really struggling with what to make of it, because while I wanted more I know it could not have been anything else without becoming inaccurate rep. I hope that one day Holly Bourne will start a feminist anthology of YA stories like Stephanie Perkins did in the US with a bunch of own voices authors where POC voices, trans voices, and different sexualities can be represented too.

Holly Bourne writes such honest and real books and I just hope she continues tackling important issues like the ones in this series, she really is an amazing woman Jun 04, Ashleigh a frolic through fiction rated it really liked it Shelves: I felt like sludge by the end of this book.

In the best possible way. Holly Bourne has this wonderful way of making Lottie, Amber and Evie seem like real people. People you can — and are — friends with. So reading this book…well, I felt like I was going through all this with our dear Lottie.

Which meant one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride. So when I read the second half of this book in one sitting and really felt everything, by the end I felt like sludge. Yes, at the same time. In other words, I was broken. Which is a good thing, because it meant this book really hit me hard. Now, this book is very much about Feminism. And I loved it. Reading about how to cope with college work pressure. Or even the pressure of parents expecting you to do well.

And how important friendships are. And, how the quote below very rightly says, our harshest judges are most often ourselves, not other people. It shows the difficulties…and then focuses on the positives. Somehow, a book full of heavy topics felt like a lighthearted read. It was a quick jump into the life of a very ambitious teenager who, quite frankly, I want to be more like. If you want to read about important topics with a fun twist and an absolutely amazing friendship between three girls, I suggest you read this series.

May 12, Sanne rated it it was amazing Shelves: I devoured this book. Honestly, I applaud to Holly Bourne to be so direct, unashamed and unapologetic speaking up about feminism in her novels. While the other two books had strong feminist themes, this one is so straight about feminism, that the whole plot is about a girl standing up and starting a feminism campaign because she's tired about the sexist bullshit all the girls have to put up with on a daily basis. Although this book is fictional it deals with a lot of real shit going on in real li I devoured this book. Although this book is fictional it deals with a lot of real shit going on in real life.

Sexual harassment, rape, slut-shaming, it's real. Bourne shows the negative effect on women when they speak up to themselves, from rape to murder threats, from "meninists" who slut shame her, from girls who are so far deep in the patriarchy that they don't notice that they're sexist to their own gender they are many girls in this book who say "I'm not a feminist" because they think feminism is about hating men.

This book is so, so important. While it shows negative effects, it also shows the positive side of feminism and why need it so bad. It shows how hard it can be to be a feminist, that you have to deal with your own hypocrisy and that you constantly have to unlearn the sexist stuff the patriarchy has put on you to control you cellulite, shaving, inventing the word 'slut' to shame your sexual decisions, etc. As Bourne herself states, she only could cover a small part of equality but honestly, that doesn't make the book less important. It shows it's necessary to speak up for yourself and others and raise awareness.

It encourages you not to be silenced by people who are afraid to lose control over you. It deals with the fact that you have to look after others, but especially after you. Thank you Holly for this wonderful journey you allowed me to go with Evie, Amber and Lottie, and telling me it's okay to be not perfect, but encouraging me to do good anyway. Please never stop writing and speaking up about those things because as with Lottie, there are people like me who listen to you and agree with you, and who will fight the battles with you, too.

Jun 03, Lily rated it it was amazing. I am so sad this series as come to an end! Lottie was a fantastic character who was extremely flawed but meant well and did a lot of awesome things. I'm really glad there is an MC in the UKYA community who embraces her intelligence and is unapologetic about her sex life etc. I'm glad in both the book and in Holly's letter at the end she acknowledges that she didn't cover feminism in terms of intersectionality that much and she at least explained why she did it.

If you haven't read these books yet then I highly recommend you do! They're funny and fierce and all about female friendship. Aug 08, Ruzaika rated it it was amazing. Received a physical copy from Usborne Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Another version of this review can be found here "I want to be the sort of person who could face themselves in the mirror.

A YA contemporary that exclusively deals with feminism? When did we last come across anything even remotely talking about feminism? I ce Received a physical copy from Usborne Publishing in exchange for an honest review. A girl who is determined to change the world when there were people like me who were prepared to lay low and take the easy way out? My expectations were undoubtedly at an all-time high, and I needed to read it.

However, despite this book promising to work well enough as a standalone, I wanted to read the first two books as well, because they did look really amazing, and they had been sitting in my TBR for too long already, and what better moment to pick them up than this? And so I did. I read both Am I Normal Yet? I really regret not picking them up sooner, but anyway, now that I did, I guess I can now yell in your faces- do yourself a favor and pick them up already!!! The third installment in the one-of-its-kind Spinster Club trilogy by Holly Bourne is all about feminism.

Where the first two books were Evelyn's and Amber's stories respectively, here it's all about Lottie and her quest to bring down the patriarchy. It teaches how important it is to hold on to your beliefs, how important it is to keep going, even when the going gets tough. After being sexually harassed on her way to college one day, Lottie decides she's had enough of it all and realizes it's high time she started standing up for herself and women everywhere. This makes her come up with the idea of calling out on every instance of sexism she sees in day to day life, filming it all and uploading the videos on her Vigilante blog for one whole month.

She has her best friends, Amber and Evie, and the FemSoc at college by her side to help her all the way through this, and a guy from Evie's film studies class, Will, offers to help her with he camera too- even though he didn't believe in the word "feminism"!!! Armed with clown horns to honk the second they spot something sexist, Lottie and her team go about their campaign enthusiastically, even as they face resistance from all quarters. However, as the campaign gathers steam, Lottie starts attracting online trolls who try to bring her down. This is not to mention having to deal with her parents who frown upon her activities, school mates determined to ruin her campaign and her grades which suddenly start suffering too.

Incredibly stressed out and with both her sanity as well as her Cambridge interview in threat, Lottie finds herself in the difficult position of having to decide whether to go ahead with the campaign, or admit defeat. Does Lottie succeed or will her feminist revolution lose steam just as fast as it gathered it? You'll have to read this wonderfully thought-provoking book to find out! People who don't agree with you, people who agree with you but only some bits, people who delight in ripping you down, people who are threatened by the strength of your belief.

But I was beginning to realise, the biggest hurdle to overcome was the hurdle of yourself. Despite being quite long, the story is fast paced and filled with humorous, sarcastic anecdotes and for not one moment would find yourself feeling bored I ended up reading the book even though I had my finals at uni two days later, so you can guess just how addictive it was!

Just like in the previous Spinster Club books, Holly Bourne has once again managed to perfectly capture the voice of a teenage girl and convey her inner turmoil and feelings in a strong, unforced manner. Along with talking about serious topics comes the risk of sounding too preachy about them, but the author cleverly avoids doing that here. The characters in this book are all very realistic and well developed.

Lottie, the main character, was extremely relatable. She was loud, she was flawed, she was insecure, she was spunky, she was frustrated…she was frustrating, and above all, she was human. It was very easy to imagine being in her shoes because what she went through, was what most, if not all, girls go through daily. However unlike her, most of us fail to do something about it, and thus this book serves as a great source of inspiration to anyone and everyone. The supporting cast was perfect, too. I loved her best friends, Evelyn and Amber right from the first book, so it was great to read about their lives now.

Will, the cameraman, turns out to be quite an important character, and despite me wrinkling my nose at him at the beginning, he ended up being one of my favorite characters in the series! There's no entry test. You don't need to suck anything up. Just you and your anger and your voice is enough. If you only have the courage to use it. I, for one, simply cannot wait! I also created a Pinterest board inspired by this series!

Check it out here. Aug 09, Morgane Moncomble rated it it was amazing Shelves: My new favorite of the series, probably. Lottie is such a mood. Honestly, I just love this book so SO much. I loved everything about it, and I'm glad that Holly Bourne managed to correct this "white feminism" vibe that book 1 'Am I Normal Yet? I'd shove over your towering to-be-read and insist you devour this series next. Just like the previous books; the words that spring to mind are snarky, hilarious and empowering. It sings and dances positive messages about feminism and equality.

It will challenge your thinking. It made me aware of some of my passive ways. I ended up speculating about the significance of letting small issues float by without comment. Do all the small issues bond into larger ones? Like a catcall on the street, and how that feeds into normalising invasive behaviour.

The book is funny and entertaining. Lottie makes me want to be her. Someday, when I grow up and become zillion times fiercer than I already am. We already know she is intelligent, feisty and ready to challenge society. But here we see her vulnerabilities. Whether she should shelf her beliefs for an easier life, on certain days, or in certain scenarios.

I felt her indecision and I wanted to hug her because life is not black and white. The female friendships and support of the Spinster Club energise me. They start all meetings with cheesy snacks, humour, plain speaking and lots of hugs.

They are there for each other. This series makes me want to fight. To be heard, seen and treated as an equal. Women have come along way, but there is still a long road ahead. I love that this book shows all that is great about feminism but also all that is hard and painful. It's a timely reminder. But also a fun, entertaining book with epic characters. Young and old, male and female; there is a message in this book for all. If you loved previous books in the series like Am I Normal Yet , then you will love catching up with this kick-ass gang. Fans of snarky, fun, thought-provoking young adult contemporary books should also really enjoy this series.

Sep 01, Odette Knappers rated it it was amazing Shelves: En dan nog krijgt dit boek er te weinig. Deze serie is geweldig want het maakt je bewust van seksisme, het leert je over feminisme, het laat zien hoe moeilijk het is om niet met twee maten te meten, het laat zien dat iedereen een masker heeft waar hij zich achter verschuilt, het gaat over vriendschap, en het is grappig.

Er zit heel veel inhoud en achtergrond over feminisme in deze serie. Het leert je iets, maar zonder een wijsneuzerig boek te zijn: Na twee boeken had ik het idee dat ik de Spinster club en alles waar ze voor staan wel doorhad en zag. Maar in dit boek laat Holly Lottie nog een enorme stap vooruit en de diepte in zetten en omg het is geweldig. Het maakt je daadwerkelijk bewust van de shitload aan dagelijks, klein seksisme.

En inderdaad, als we dat wel pikken, waar ligt de grens bij wat we niet meer pikken? Begin klein, begin bij jezelf en je omgeving en dingen waar je iets aan kan doen of het in ieder geval als dusdanig benoemen en probeer de wereld te veranderen. Dit boek heeft mijn blik op de wereld om mij heen echt verandert en dat vind ik geweldig knap. Het nawoord geeft het boek ook een extra stukje diepgang mee.

Vaak vertellen schrijvers daar een extra boodschap of leggen ze uit wat het idee achter het verhaal is. Sla het nooit over! Alle bedankt naam en naam alinea's kun je overslaan, maar scan 'm alsjeblieft altijd op dit soort stukken, het kan zo mooi zijn. Jun 12, Amy rated it it was amazing Shelves: Holly Bourne has done it again with the final book in this trilogy. I love Lottie and the focus on feminism. Does she get into Cambridge?

Sep 16, Zainab Ishaq rated it it was amazing. Thank you Usborne for sending me a review copy. Holly Bourne how do you do this? The first two books in the series were so good. But I loved Lottie from the start because she always wanted to change everything, and this book was no doubt such an amazing read. This book is a complete package of fun and teenage drama. From laughing out loud to I cried too reading the book.

But at every point this book made me strong. Characters of the book are so well described, the lead female character L Thank you Usborne for sending me a review copy. Characters of the book are so well described, the lead female character Lottie is fearless and will speak against sexism no matter what. Evie and Amber her two best friends which are always there for her no matter what. Megan her new friend whom Lottie helped to fight and showed that girls are strong.

Every page of this book speaks about feminism and thats what I loved the most. Holly is no doubt one of my favourite authors and she speaks so well. This book is a must read for every teenage girl out there. No doubt, I loved the cover of the book. Everything is so good about this book.

It is truly an inspiring story which Holly has written. I can not wait for the fourth book to be released in the series. Jun 01, Jessica rated it it was amazing Shelves:
