Sixteen-year-old Izzy is used to keeping her thoughts to herself—in school, where her boyfriend does the talking for her, and at home, where it’s impossible to compete with her older siblings and high-powered parents.

When she mistakenly walks into a stand-up comedy club and performs, the experience is surprisingly cathartic. After the show, she meets Mo, an aspiring comic who’s everything Izzy’s not: bold, confident, comfortable in her skin. Mo invites Izzy to join her group of friends and introduces her to the Chicago open mic scene.

The only problem? Her new friends are college students—and Izzy tells them she’s one, too. Now Izzy, the dutiful daughter and model student, is sneaking out to perform stand-up with her comedy friends. Her controlling boyfriend is getting suspicious, and her former best friend knows there’s something going on.

But Izzy loves comedy and this newfound freedom. As her two parallel lives collide—in the most hilarious of ways—Izzy must choose to either hide what she really wants and who she really is, or finally, truly stand up for herself.

Uma garota descobrindo para que serve o feminismo

Em nenhum momento o livro fala sobre feminismo, mas é o que ele é, na essência. Um livro com mulheres incríveis cujas histórias não se resumem a estarem se apaixonando.

A história é muito boa e não menospreza a inteligência do leitor. Todos os diálogos são muito, mas muito bem escritos.

Por fim, eu fiquei muito satisfeito com o final. É o tipo de final que eu gosto.
