25 Moxie Quotes from Netflix Film Based on Jennifer Mathieu’s Novel

The teen drama, adapted from the similarly titled novel, is an emotional rollercoaster, and yet one cannot miss the humor that sets the base for the film. Check out these "Moxie" quotes to experience some inspiring moments, laughter, raw emotions, as well as the girl power that is at play.
