Not Here to Be Liked
by Michelle Quach
This book made me feel very single in a hundred different ways. But it was also a beautiful recollection of girlhood, of trying to overcome the misogyny in your own self and learn to look past it to meet all these wonderful people.
Both Eliza and Len were complicated characters that fucked up, got twisted in their lies and secrets, but when push came to shove they worked through it. The background characters were wonderful and Eliza's mother made me love her, hate her, then love her again, like I was her daughter and going through the journey of loving-hating-loving your mother. I loved and pitied her father but then thought "why pity a man who put his family at jeopardy for his own pleasure?" and then "why hate him for what almost all fathers do?"
In short, it was a refreshing read about realistic humans and excellent book recommendations. I loved it!!!!!!
