Rat Girl Summer as Lola puts it refers to women actively going outside, eating their snacks and showing up in random places – with only two days indoors allowed per week. She also lists four rules for Rat Girl Summer: 1. going outside, 2. eating and ENJOYING eating, 3. killing the cringe and 4. NO OVERTHINKING.


It's a fun, bucket list approach to summer 2023 but one that is not filled with societal pressure such as dieting, going on crazy expensive holidays or glowing up – any girl can do it and that's what makes it aspirational!
