Not Here to Be Liked
by Michelle Quach
Not Here to Be Liked can be one of those books that you either like or don't. In the beginning, I wasn't really sure how I felt. Mostly because of the main character, Eliza. She may be the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her school's paper in her eyes, but she's not to everyone else. Which, yes, didn't help matters when she lost to Len. She kind of freaked out and people were quick to judge her.
It also doesn't help that she was very quick to judge Len either. So, in a way, she deserved the karma. At least in my eyes she did. After an essay of hers goes viral, she ends up creating a feminist movement within her school. Tension definitely thrives after this because people are sliding into two categories: gender equality or crying misogyny.
Honestly, I liked the feminism throughout this book. It was definitely eye opening to see how people would react to it. For example, the number of times she gets in trouble was kind of ridiculous. Especially for when she mentioned tampons vs. pads. Definitely made me roll my eyes because what do people think those feminine products are for? They don't fill those shelves at the grocery store for fun people.
Other than that, drama definitely happened throughout this entire book. I also liked how close Len and her became towards the end. Even after the secrets came out and apologies were made. I'm just happy that they made their way back to one another and everything turned out for the better.
