Margot Mertz Takes It Down
Margot Mertz Takes It Down | Carrie McCrossen, Ian McWethy
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Veronica Mars meets Moxie in this hilarious and biting YA contemporary novel following Margot Mertz, a girl who runs an internet cleanup business and embarks on a quest to take down a revenge-porn site targeting the girls in her school. For the right price, high school junior Margot Mertz will go to the ends of the internet to remove your nip-slip, dick pic, or embarrassing DM. At least that's what it says on her business card. Margot founded a now notorious company that helps students, teachers, even a local weatherman, discreetly clean up their digital shame. And since her parents lost her college fund, Margot is happy to work for anyone... if they can pay, she can clean. But when a fellow student hires her to take down some leaked nudes, Margot discovers a secret revenge porn site featuring Roosevelt High girls. And hell hath no fury like Margot when she sees girls butts shared without their consent. With the help of an unwitting ally, the popular and uncomfortably handsome Avery Green, Margot will gain access to the far flung cliques of Roosevelt High. Anything to find the mastermind (read: asshole) behind the site. But the more she digs, the deeper and darker the case becomes until Margot realizes that some jobs are so dirty, no one can come away clean. Even her. Gross.

Almost couldn‘t put it down. I feel for Margot so much; high schooler who wants to do good in a world where “boys will be boys” means no repercussions. She‘s being driven by a mad desire to correct the wrongs of the boys on her own. Which takes a bad toll on her. She‘s so hurt and angry. Yet I feel bad for her being manipulative to other people to get the job done. People are numbers to her. Wish there was a bit more to the ending to tie it up

How could you not love a book with a cover like that? Those stickers!! The book itself is yellow (rare these days). I love Margot‘s no sense attitude, though feel bad she‘s got a single friends. I feel the same with the “no point dating in hs because boys are immature” - I did that. Margot and Sammi work side on hacking phones and social media pages to delete unsolicited pics and other stuff akin between classes
