I really enjoyed learning about AOC’s life and journey to becoming one of the most famous faces in politics. This book brought a lot more to her story than I thought it would. It was very well written and written in a narrative style that I think will appeal to audiences of all ages.

"Who knew that while we were enjoying the moment, the wind beneath our wings after two terms with the first black president, a time that had left us proximal to a variety of enjoyable mini multi-cultures: sushi, guacamole, break dancing--there was a group of malcontents intent on making America great again..."great" like the 1940's. And that mean forcing women back into the kitchen, padlocking the door, and throwing away the key."

I want to begin by saying that I love Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and align with her politically, so this book was just like a continuous pep-talk for me, reminding me of all the changes I would like to see in the American political machine. That being said, I found this book to be an easy read and most likely targeted at younger girls probably around my 12 year old daughter's age. It was easy to understand and informative and reminded us how AOC represents us all, not just herself and not just the Bronx. I believe if Trump is the backlash we are receiving for Obama, then by the same measure, AOC and her squad are the backlash to Trump. As the authors wrote, "These women are America’s response to the mess that became the Trump election. Enough is enough."

I do not think that anyone who doesn't agree with AOC would enjoy this book, thanks to the constant media sabotage from Fox News towards AOC, however, I also don't think it will matter because they will not be the ones to pick up this book. I think this book holds a fantastic overview to share with young girls who look up to these trailblazers and reminds us all that just one person can make a difference.

Many thanks to @netgalley for providing my advanced copy!

A very quick and easy read on the life of AOC. Although I personally don't agree with most of her politics, as a political activist and writer I would be doing myself a disservice by not reading about how she came to be a phenomenon.
