Not Here to Be Liked
by Michelle Quach
I enjoyed reading this book. This was a fun read but it also discussed several issues like feminism, patriarchy and racism to name a few. There are the usual YA tropes in this book but they're done nicely.
Not Here To Be Liked follows Elizabeth Quan, a high schooler who is the editor of her school newspaper. When a new addition to the newspaper, Len gets elected as the editor in chief Eliza is angry and frustrated and it makes her take a deeper look at female representation and opportunities presented. One of the main issues in this novel, feminism was beautifully depicted in different ways through various characters like Eliza's friend Winona and her classmate Serena.
The romance was written pretty well making Len, the "face of patriarchy" as Eliza saw and her confusion and fear of being shunned by others for being in a relationship which would probably be deemed very "fake feminist". The conflict was well written. Overall, this is a good YA book which touches upon important issues.
