I know this is a supposed to be a blog all about book recommendations, but I would recommend a feel-good film Moxie, produced and directed by Amy Poehler and based on the books of the same name by Jennifer Matthieu. Jennifer has written 5 novels to date with a sixth due to be published in October 2021. These are all standalone novels and are written for the Young Adult market, but readable for adults too.

Standalone Novels

• The Truth About Alice (2015)
• Afterward (2017)
• Moxie (2017)
• Devoted (2019)
• The Liars of Mariposa Island (2019)
• Bad Girls Never Say Die (published October 2021)
