Not Here to Be Liked by Michelle Quach

3.0

---

3.5* - author did a great job with all the characters except Len. every character is so flawed and real and absolutely stupid except Len, who doesn't seem to have much of a personality beyond his confession about baseball. what is his stance on Eliza's movement, how is he affected by all the calls for him to resign, there are so many unanswered questions about him. I also wish there was more of a feminism-related buildup to the main conflict (such as various instances of men being elected more easily than women) instead of Eliza's first instinct being to blame feminism, because in all honesty, before I kept reading, I felt she was being a bit of a sore loser, and I wish there was less of an incentive to victim-blame. I know at its core it's calling people like me out, but I felt it could've been done a little differently
