Grrrls on the Side is a confusing and fluctuating story – Tabitha is very inconsistent in so many ways, leaping from one feeling, one breakup and one crush to the next, and not in a way that was believably adolescent. When I remembered that Grrrls on the Side had canon queerness in it and was also about Riot Grrrl I thought it would satiate my itch for some good angry queer punk girl YA, but once again I was wrong! Moxie was disappointing to me for various reasons, some to do with the way race was represented and also because queerness was almost completely erased from the narrative. As someone who loves zines and some aspects of riot grrrl, I was really intrigued by the synopsis, and I had also just read Moxie which is another Young Adult novel but this time focused on contemporary girls reaching back to riot grrrls for inspiration. Set in 1994, Grrrls on the Side is about Tabitha, a fat white girl who feels like an outcast stumbling across a movement of Riot Grrrls nearby. Before I get into my criticism, let me explain the premise, and why I was so excited to read it. u/grrrlriot I'm Greta and I was mentioned in the 2007 UK riot grrrl book, "Riot Grrrl: Revolution Girl Style Now!" Ask Me Anything.I was so excited to read this queer Young Adult novel, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment.
Zines and DIY are a big part of the riot grrrl movement. The movement is often associated with third-wave feminism.
