I think my favourite thing about this book was probably the fact that it was feminist, but in a subtle way (I hope that makes sense). (Also, can we take a moment briefly to appreciate that gorgeous cover?!) Within YA, contemporaries are definitely my preferences, and I heard that there was some feminism in there as well, so I was completely sold on it! It did take me till January to finally read it, but I was not disappointed – it was worth the wait. īack in the summer, when I attended YALC, one of the proofs I was most excited to have picked up from the publishers’ stands around the hall was The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven. But keeping her head up will take everything she has. Izzy’s never been ashamed of herself before, and she’s not going to start now. Izzy can try all she wants to laugh it off – after all, her sex life, her terms – but when pictures emerge of her doing the dirty with a politician’s son, her life suddenly becomes the centre of a national scandal. Or at least, that’s what the malicious website flying round the school says. Izzy O’Neill is an aspiring comic, an impoverished orphan, and a Slut Extraordinaire. Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, Feminism
