"so first it's because I don’t try, and now it's because I try too hard? Which is it?"
The exhale from James is weary. "You know what I mea, Eliza"
"No," I say. "No, I do not know what you mean."
This book is for you if... you like contemporary books with feminist themes.
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I was pleasantly surprised by Not Here To Be Liked, I went into it thinking it would be just another cute contemporary and yeah it was a cute contemporary but it was so much more than that. It had feminist themes, a rather shocking surprise in the final act of the book, amazing friendships that weren't perfect(we love flaws) and it was such a nice easy read that sparked some thoughts.
Writing wise I liked it, I'm definitely interested in reading more. It was smooth and there wasn't a lot of bumps and where there were bumps they weren't that noticeable(I read a not finalized copy so these might be fixed).
One of the things that stood out to me the most was how the characters developed over the course of the book, and how we got to see them change the more we knew about them.
Not Here To Be Liked had a lot of things I love in a book, I'm just gonna list some for you:
-Diverse cast of characters
-Feminist Themes
-A Cute romance that progresses in a great pace though the book
-Female friendships
-It's quick and easy to read.
I would 100% recommend this book to a lot of people.

Another kinda fluffy YA contemporary which was an attempt to escape 'the slump' and clearly failed miserably at that considering I haven't finished a book in 4 months, but at least it was a good time back in March!
Again, a bit like with 'Tweet Cute', I couldn't really tell you what exactly happened aside from it's about a girl in high school who goes up for newspaper editor and loses to a 'jock' who has just joined the newspaper team, and the book explores feminism a little bit. I can't remember how successful at executing this well, but I do remember, as with pretty much every YA romance, that I totally shipped the main two characters by the end and that's always a fun time. 3.75 stars?

I honestly didn’t agree with some things that were portrayed but I did really like the plot line. I honestly had a hunch it was him but I didn’t really expect and over I liked Eliza.
