What's a Girl Gotta Do?

Lottie is starting a supersonic feminist experiment. For one month she's going to call out every instance of sexism she sees. But when her project hits the headlines, the trolls come out to play - and they are VICIOUS. Lottie's not a quitter, but best friends Evie and Amber are worried. What if Lottie's heading for burnout...or worse?

The hilarious, heartbreaking and unapologetically feminist novel from the queen of YA, Holly Bourne, perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow and Amber Smith.

Lottie has had enough. She's tired of being sexually harassed, interrupted and dismissed. So, for one month, she decides to call out every bit of sexism she sees—no matter the consequences.

With the reluctant help of the annoyingly cute Will, her project goes viral. But as the backlash intensifies both online and off, Lottie starts to wonder: can one girl really make a difference? And more importantly, will speaking up cost her more than she ever imagined?

What's a Girl Gotta Do? "Brings to mind the late, great Louise Rennison... A book to press into the hands of every teenage girl you know." — The Bookseller
