About The Book
At fifteen, Kat Evans is still sorting it all out, and that includes being a good feminist (and, by extension, a good human).
She promises herself that this school year, she’ll be making changes to her life that will make her less of a walking disaster, like: 1) keeping her diary every day as all the top journalists and writers do; 2) stop obsessing over her crush Hot Josh because she doesn’t need a man to complete her; 3) stop stalking said Hot Josh on Instagram and accidentally liking his pictures; 4) somehow managing to stop worrying about every single thing in her life; and, most importantly, 5) SMASHING THE PATRIARCHY—that is, after she figures out what it is and how one goes about dismantling it.
And though Kat may lack the grace it requires to meet her goals, she makes up for that with plenty of good humor as she stumbles through high school with all its bullies, parties, and crippling moments of self-doubt. With the help of her best friends, her parents, and her diary, Kat may figure out how to be a cool, fun feminist yet.
Why We Love It
“I, legitimately and truly, laughed out loud with every page turn of this book. Kat is relatable and sweet while also being a total walking disaster that feels so relatable to how many teenagers conduct themselves at that age. For fans of Louise Rennison’s Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series, you’ll see so much of Georgia in Kat, whose voice rings true even through the secondhand embarrassment.”
—Dainese S., Associate Editor, on Diary of a Confused Feminist
