Working as a wench ― i.e. waitress ― at a cheesy medieval-themed restaurant in the Chicago suburbs, Kit Sweetly dreams of being a knight like her brother. She has the moves, is capable on a horse, and desperately needs the raise that comes with knighthood, so she can help her mom pay the mortgage and hold a spot at her dream college.
Company policy allows only guys to be knights. So when Kit takes her brother’s place and reveals her identity at the end of the show, she rockets into internet fame and a whole lot of trouble with the management. But the Girl Knight won’t go down without a fight. As other wenches join her quest, a protest forms. In a joust before Castle executives, they’ll prove that gender restrictions should stay medieval―if they don’t get fired first.
Moxie meets A Knight’s Tale as Kit Sweetly slays sexism, bad bosses, and bad luck to become a knight at a medieval-themed restaurant. (taken from goodreads.com)
Kit wants nothing more than to be a knight at the Castle, the medieval times themed restaurant she works at with her best friends and her older brother. There is only one thing standing in her way, corporate and their rules that only men can be knights. Kit can not let this stay the policy, she rallies up her friends and sets out to make a change.
I loved this book so much!! Kit and her friends are fierce and funny, and such a diverse group!
Kit lives with her mom and her brother, two people who mean the world to her and that she’s very close with. I love the relationship between them, you see that they are truly a support system for each other.
Another thing that this book touched upon was class difference. Kit and her best friends are all very different, while Kit struggles to make ends meet Layla and Jett don’t have to worry about spending money on an expensive breakfast. I found these conversations to be important and added a lot to the story.
If you love books about fierce young women who get what they want and a really sweet best friends to lovers romance, I highly recommend you check this one out!
