Margot Mertz #2
Margot Mertz for the Win
Veronica Mars meets Moxie in the hilarious and thought-provoking sequel to Margot Mertz Takes it Down.
Margot faces senior year working on a campaign for local election while helping a fellow student run for class president—but when a mysterious blackmail plot emerges, and a loathesome opponent rises in the class race, Margot might have to return to the cleanup job she thought she’d left behind.
It’s senior year. And Margot’s on a mission to be a better Margot. Which means saying goodbye to her old cleanup ways— and their inherent moral ambiguities— and saying hello to… more yoga maybe? (Probably not, Margot hates exercise.)
To fill her time and round out her college application, Margot volunteers for Shep Green’s state senate campaign and in a twist, finds she actually enjoys being part of a team. She loves her new boss/mentor Priya. And of course it doesn’t hurt that the candidate is Avery Green’s dad. Yes, Avery and Margot are just friends, but it’s still nice to see his too perfect face from time to time.
Meanwhile at Roosevelt High, Margot finds herself roped into a second election, this one for school president. Melanie Jenkins is running against one of the monsters who created the revenge porn site Margot took down last year. Needless to say, Margot is #teamMelanie.
With Margot rocking both campaigns and maybe even making friends, it seems like she’s well on her way to being a better person. But when Priya asks her to look into an anonymous email threatening Shep Green, one that could potentially torpedo his entire election, Margot finds herself slipping back into her old habits.
She’s tried to keep her hands clean. But politics is a dirty job.

I got the lovely privilege to read the first Margot Mertz book before it came out last year and I can confidently say that I'm so sad to see this end (can we please have a third I don't want to say goodbye to Margot)
As always this book follows the ambitious and new Margot with a vow to stay away from the clean-up business but gets thrown into it while working on a campaign for a local election. We see the aftermath of the site Roosevelt Bitches, and how Margot deals with her new-found priorities.
I really enjoyed this book, because Margot isn't always right and good. and she owns up to her actions and can admit she is wrong. she is a teenager who makes mistakes and learns from them. as always this was a hilarious read with not a single dull moment. I honestly enjoyed Nick as a weird, goofy side character, and of course, I always will love sweet Avery he is such a sweet guy. It was fun to see how Margot let herself enjoy having a friend group and friends, letting herself have fun instead of being all business.
Thank you penguin teen for providing this arc!

i just LOVE margot and i just LOVE these books

I must say I enjoyed this more than the 1st in the series. However, maybe that is because of my interest in politics.
I have some of the same problems as I did with the first book but if you suspend all disbelief, Margot Mertz is a typical teenager figuring out her moral compass with a side of sarcasm.

I’m ok if this is the end of this series, but I wouldn’t mind another book to continue the journey with Margot. I really enjoyed this character and felt that she was a very dynamic and layered teenage girl. Her many flaws are relatable and human and I applaud that the authors chose a more realistic ending. . Carrie McCrossen narrated her book superbly and once again, had me laughing, shaking my head and gasping while listening. She really brought Margot and the story to life. So, I will cross my fingers and hope that Margot returns, but as mentioned, this is also a great conclusion to her story as she continues to clean others filth openly and no longer judging herself and her phenomenal skills.

A realistic read about revenge porn, lack of consequences & society
The authors include a content warning about sexual harassment and revenge porn, which I thought was a good move. (My tablet tried 3 times to change "sexual" to "serial," which I find very messed up.)
Margot Mertz decides to take a break from her job doing "filth cleaning" on the Internet/digitally and throws herself into helping on TWO campaigns. One, a high school presidential campaign where one candidate is someone who was involved in the previous book's high school rev3nge points website. The second is a local campaign, who turns out to be Avery's father. Avery was the guy she fake-dated in the previous book (without him knowing) in order to get insight in the popular crowd and the revenge p*rn ring. But Avery's dad also wants to push for a law that would outlaw revenge porn. Yay!
So...this book isn't an easy ride, just as the first book in the series wasn't. Maybe it wasn't the best book to start 2023 off, but it was the next return in my library pile.
The authors don't hold back on how perpetrators of revenge porn often DONT face long-lasting consequences, whether it be in schools, teams, society, as a whole. I had to step back from reading it a few times because it got me very riled up. People are easy to forgive the "fun" guys. It also reminds you that what you see what people WANT you to see. Those happy & nice people and couples have their own problems they are better at hiding.
You have to admire Margot's intensity in everything she does, even she needlessly makes plans too complicated, and, yes, does use people. But she's trying to be cognizant of what she does and how she does it, and be a better friend. Though she tries, at times, TOO hard to apologize. Leave people alone and don't bombard them...
Told from Margot's perspective, we see everybody from her mindset, so unfortunately not many other characters are fully fleshed out. I wish there had been better insights into new characters, such as Priya and Nick.
I would recommend this book to people who are OKAY with how realistic this book is, and who aren't looking for escapism. This ending is not a happy ever after for everybody, but again, realistic. Maybe to high school students, too, to discuss.
(On a tangent , but who decides whether a book should have discussion questions? This book doesn't but others I read, have. Even in first printing. Do publishers reach out and see if a famous book club will discuss them before they go to publication? Like Reese Witherspoon's? This is an educational and topical book.)

Thank you to Penguin Teen and Netgalley for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review. I'm really glad my girl Margot Mertz got a sequel. I didn't think her story was meant to be done with one book and I liked the continuation. It was nice to see her growth from book one to now and I liked that she had taken charge of campaign work. She's sassy and definitely makes for a unique YA character. The topics were a bit heavy again in this installment, but they were handled well and balanced with banter and Margot's inner thoughts. I really enjoyed reading this one and I liked that it's on the older side.

3. 5 rounded up.
Much thanks to @prhaudio for a complimentary audiobook of the newest Margot Mertz story! I really enjoyed seeing Margot struggle to become a better person, putting aside her Internet Cleaning business to focus more on being a better friend and daughter. In this book Margot gets wrapped up in both a high school Presidential election and starts working for a local politician. Highly recommended for fans of Veronica Mars, this book sees Margot both change and revert back to her old ways, always struggling with the morality and ethics of her actions. Good on audio narrated by author Carrie McCrossen.

This was incredibly fun and funny-yet beneath the layers is a thoughtful and insightful look at so many timely topics. Margot is a quirky, smart, snarky, conflicted and deeply feeling character and it was a joy to spend time with her as she navigated life, teen angst, love, cyber stalking, revenge porn and a wounded eye!

We love an empowered sassy female, we love character development, WE LOVE VIGILANTE JUSTICE. I can see why some people would get irritated and DNF these books, because she’s a bad person (and her finally admitting it over and over only goes so far). But I was glad I stuck it out. These books handle sexism and crimes against women with such care and nuance. I like that she explores gray areas and ethical dilemmas, and it’s still somehow hilarious. Keep ‘em comin.
August 19, 2023
a bit of a depressing ending. others might consider it “realistic”. i’m not even sure margot had character development at all in this sequel (re: social life, parents, arrogance, self-care). she is like an anti-heroine but unlikeable.

I enjoyed the story, but as with the first installment, Margot does not feel like a teen.
Her “I’m not like other girls because I’m a loner and know how to hack” shtick gets old fast too.
While realistic, the ending didn’t feel satisfying, but that’s personal preference.

I could honestly read a thousand Margot Mertz books and it still wouldn’t be enough.
December 3, 2022
I loved the first half of this sequel. Margot Mertz is funny, sassy, and quippy. It’s so much fun to be in her head. She’s flawed but is trying to be a better person. She’s trying to make the world a better place. She says things I wish I could say. She calls out inequities and wrongs I wish I was bold enough to speak up about.
I did not love the second half of this sequel. Margot’s screwing everything up. She’s letting her worst impulses take over. Did she not learn anything in book 1?! Things happen that are difficult (for her and the reader) and- if you ask me- she’s not left in a good place at the end. But that’s okay, this is just book 2, things will be fixed in the 3rd book, right? Right?!?!
Well… I went to see if there was any news on book 3- publication date? Some tweet about the authors being knee deep in Act 2 or edits? Nope, nope. Instead I only saw that this was a two book deal. Two. This was the final book. No more Margot. Given that… ...this is how they left her?! I would rather not have even read the book (or stopped half way through) if I’d known.

Noooooo. Why did this have to end?
You can probably already tell, loved this one, and the first one, Read it in 3 days, usually faster, but that wasn’t the book, that was me, do you know how hard it is once you turn the last page? ☹️
I’m hoping we will see a 3rd book in this series, keeping this review short, and a longer one will be on medium, at some point, loved the series, to the authors, a 3rd book?

4.5 rounded up. There better be a third book!! We can’t leave Margot like this. Margot makes some morally interesting choices which leave you always wondering if the end justifies the means.

Best YA series I’ve picked up in ages— strong female protagonist, well developed cast of characters, weighty themes explored with nuance, and sharply hilarious.

Margot Mertz is back and is doing her best to keep her hands clean. She is no longer working as a cleaner after the spiral and fallout from book one. Instead, she is using her energy to volunteer for Shep Green's state senate campaign at the same time as helping Melanie Jenkins run for school president against one of the perpetrators of the revenge porn site she helped take down. Margo is killing it! She has friends, she isn't lying and she is in control.....until Priya (her new boss) asks her to look into an anonymous email threatening Shep Green.
I was keen to dive into the second book in this series. I absolutely loved the style and the pace of Margo Mertz Takes it Down and book two continued in the same manner. The book definitely exceed my expectations.
Margo is a fabulous main character and it is evident that she has transformed from the Margo we met at the beginning of book one. Margot starts developing and valuing relationships with her peers in this book. This is a massive change for her as previously she just had clients, not friends and was not against using people to complete a job. Now we see Margot actually value the relationships she is slowly building and understand the consequences of hurting a friend. The relationship that Margot builds, definitely help her find a balance to do what she loves (and is good at) while also becoming a better person.
I highly recommend Margot Mertz for the Win, however I highly suggest checking the trigger warnings prior to reading as this book may not be suitable for everyone.
Thank you to Hardie Grant Kids for gifting me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Margot Mertz 2.0 has four rules, and abiding by these four rules over the course of her senior year will keep her from being a self-described "garbage person," and from imploding her own life, as Margot Mertz 1.0 did during the last school year. However, when things start going sideways in both the school election and senate campaign race that Margot's helping out with, her rules become increasingly more difficult to follow.
Spoiler: There is no HEA here. Margot is young and jaded, and despite having good intentions, she often makes misguided decisions in the name of justice. She does not learn from most of her mistakes or past experiences, and continues to prioritize whatever job she's working over the majority of her relationships. If you read this sequel in the hopes that Margot becomes a different person by the end, you will be disappointed. However, this book is a perfect example of why I love contemporary fiction. It's frustrating, and heartbreaking, and honest. Teenagers, like everyone else, are flawed.
I admire McCrossen and McWethy's ability to weave humor throughout a story that includes such sensitive and important topics as this one, and I am forever impressed by co-authors who can write a single POV so seamlessly. I was, and still am, fully invested in the lives of these characters, and hope to see more of Margot Mertz someday.

If Sarah Silverman were a book, it would be this book: easy to categorize at first as "just" cute and laugh-out-loud funny, but reveals itself over time to be deadly serious about important shit. This is a sequel to Margot Mertz Shuts It Down, in which our high school hero discovers that her male classmates are behind a website that displays non-consensual nude photos of girls at the school.
Margot takes down both the website and the masterminds behind it in book one. But in the process she realizes that she is not developing all aspects of her own wellness wheel. She has fierce morals and high standards, but she burns important bridges in her quest for justice.
Now she's back, taking a break from her techno-sleuthing, trying to be more social and socially engaged. However, it's not long before her work on a local political campaign draws her back into computer hacking and tracking. This time her work reveals that high school boys don't own the market on disgusting, disappointing treatment of women.
Taken together, these books are a pretty stinging indictment of male privilege and culture, delivered with a snarling wink and chuckle.

I got the chance to read the first Margot Mertz book a few months before it came out, and since then I have been looking forward to this moment. Margot Mertz is a teen who, like many of us, makes some "morally dubious" (as she'd put it) choices, and it's no different in Margot Mertz for the Win. We see the aftermath of the site Roosevelt Bitches, and how Margot deals with her new-found priorities. I really enjoyed this book, because Margot isn't always right and good. I love how she learns to be herself but also grows and becomes more... teenager-y. I highly recommend Margot Mertz for the Win, and I hope there will be more Margot Mertz to come.

3.5 stars.
I was happy to be able to spend more time with Margot, but I didn't feel super invested in either election.
(Why is the entire school voting on senior class president? Doesn't each grade have its own president? I thought maybe it was student body president, but it specifically said "class.")
Though realistic, and kinda the point, I was bummed when Margot made some choices that were very Margot 1.0, even though she'd promised Melanie to run a clean campaign.
It also felt like the story ended rather abruptly. The elections are over. And the book is over too--like they didn't really know how to finish the story. Or I guess it was a bit of an anticlimactic ending.

finished 11/19/22 and read in about 24 hours. Margot is such an interesting character. she tries so hard and in the first book, really seemed to grow during her time and learned a lot...and then this book happened and i wondered "did she learn nothing!?" many twists and turns and characters that I didn't believe even after it's over, but I love a character who can stay true to herself and grow while leaning in to what she believes in. can't wait for the next book in the series.

Margot is back, but is vowing to 'clean your filth' in a good, clean way because last year she wasn't a very nice person (and even admits it to Stanford admissions).
This year we see Margot reluctantly clean the filth of a senate candidate, who is also Avery's father, and helping a classmate run against P-Dog, who created Roosevelt B*s, and got away with it.
In her final year of high school, Margot navigates ethical dilemmas, new friends, her relationship with Avery, and her parents, who need her to know how to cook an egg before she leaves for college.
In the end, just like Margot Mertz Takes It Down, I felt disappointed by Margot's actions and how she goes about things, although the storyline brings up topics that happen in the real world and are handled quite delicately.

I liked this one but not quite as much as the first one, I think. I love that she’s true to her spunky fun personality in this one as well as juggling tricky issues, but I didn’t love how in the end she just kind of…gave up a lot of the growth she had and said “awh, screw it —I am who I am”. It was kind of an unsatisfying ending for me. I still enjoyed the story, and honestly would read another if it got put out because they’re such fun books, but I was kind of bummed with how this one ended. 🤷🏼♀️

Really enjoyed coming back to Margot's character and her narration, and this was another interesting, exploration of its feminist themes. I found myself really enjoying the characters a lot more this time around, which was great, though I do feel like things just sort of peter out in some ways at the end.
The storyline with the class president election and the fallout from Margot's actions never really gets any closure, and she ends the book kinda just going "well ig if I'm an asshole i'll be an asshole!" Feels like there's a third book brewing here to wrap up these loose threads, though I haven't seen anything about one.

4.5 rounded up. Margot Mertz is a great character, her clean-it-up on the Internet business has come to a whole new level--to the campaign trail. Margot Mertz for the Win tackles rough campaigning in school and out in the community, all while keeping her reputation (mostly unwittingly) as a fixer/cleaner. SO another good time!
November 29, 2022
Margot Mertz is a great main character who isn't afraid to be her true self and follow the morals she believes. She always stands up for what she believes in and that makes her a compelling character. This time she gets involved in politics, both in school and out of it. She brings so much to the table in her humor mixed with her intelligence. make this a lighthearted and fun read!

This was even better than the firs one! There was some minor things in the previous book that I didn't like, and I didn't see them in this one, it's good to see improvement in an author's writing
Achei melhor que o primeiro! Tinha umas coisinhas no primeiro livro que me incomodaram mas não senti isso lendo o 2o livro, muito bom ver o desenvolvimento do estilo de escrita da autora.

July 3, 2024Every element I loved in the first Mertz novel--the snappy dialogue, the snarky interiority of the title character, the fascinating dive into the difficult task of erasing or ameliorating someone's digital footprint, and the full-bore attack on toxic masculinity and "boys will be boys" attitudes--is present and accounted for in this sophomore effort in the series.
