Not Here to Be Liked by Michelle Quach
2.5 stars
bro ok so. the discussion questions in the end were good but the book did not seem to achieve what it set out to do (in my opinion at least)
it was disjointed, insta-lovey taking away from important conversations to be held, had a weird portrayal of feminism and even after a lot of character growth seemed to hold onto the idea of “good” and “bad” women, yes women, not just feminists.
i believe my reading update (pasted below) from beforehand still stays relevant and i truly think this book could have done something as the premise itself was well imagined.
->
what is this pacing?
and why does the author insist on placing women into
"good' and "bad" feminist categories?
the sexism and feminism is discussed at a superficial
level thus far and although i at first assumed the author
is trying to make a point by the women having a very
narrow-minded perspective on gender-equality and girl
hate, it just got worse. GIRLS CAN LIKE MAKE UP AND
BE SMART AT THE SAME TIME
