Not Here to Be Liked by Michelle Quach
3.0
Eliza Quan is a smart, self-confident student and main contributor to her school paper. She runs an unopposed race for editor and chief…until the last minute when Len, a former baseball player throws his hat in the ring. After a compelling speech he wins over her, sparking rage. She pecks out an angry manifesto against the patriarchy that someone else posts to the front page of the school newspaper.
Eliza is hailed a femminazi with all the all the hazing that comes with the title. When she starts to fall for Len, the face of the patriarchy she starts to wonder what it really means to be a feminist.
If I were a preteen I would have given this a 5 star review. For me, I found myself skimming large parts, more interested in the teen romance than the school drama. I appreciated the nuance, peek into Asian American culture, and dialogue about feminism, but I’m a tried and true romantic at heart. Great message for young girls. Give me the romance.
