Not Here To Be Liked

Product Information

i felt like this was so evident that would be for sure later mentioned but nope, we’re supposed to believe Eliza lost just cuz Len is a guy. actually we don't see a single misogynistic action throughout the election, it was so clean that it gives no reason to hate Len, and so it just makes Eliza stand out as super whiny and for no reason. maybe the author should've made Len or her peers misogynistic towards her, but then it would've been super difficult for us to like Len... First of all I am not a feminist. Simply because I don't know enough about it and calling myself one would make me fell like a faker ** cough Eliza cough **, but I think feminism is or should be about supporting women without belittle or judge them for wearing make up or looking a certain way. It also should be about finding a way to work with others to create equality for all, without having to antagonize anything male for literally no reason.

he had a better speech, showed more interest, care, and understanding. he’s super smart too and knows how to find good angles for the stories, which is numerously recognized in the book, has good cooperation skills. knowing how to lead a team is more than having a lot of awards and papers under your belt. Eliza is known for being overly critical, she is super qualified but also that gives her in her head justification to judge everyone’s papers super harshly. she’s shown to be actually kind of scary to those around her in the paper and Len has a much calmer and serene posture and overall better leadership qualities. if Eliza was a guy, i would still have voted for Len. I didn’t expect the book to be so good, based on the summary, so I’m so happy to hear that you loved it as much as you did. I’m definitely adding this book and putting it to the top of my list. Hope you’re doing well 🙂 xx I snort. "What does she think of alternate-universe Len?" "Oh, she likes him." "Does he like her?" "Sure. They get along pretty well." 😫 This book may not deep dive into the nuances of feminism but it did have me (and Eliza) questioning some inherent biases, which is always a good thing.The romance was utterly adorable! Len was such a sweetheart *heart eyes* and he definitely charmed me from the beginning! Because feminism, contrary to popular belief, isn’t about hating on guys like me. It’s about all of us working toward equality, together” So, this book is about Eliza, who desperately wants to be editor-in-chief of the school paper, but then one day before the election Len shows up to run against her. Eventually Len wins and Eliza, who can't believe that he won fair and square since she is more qualified, cries sexism and so accidentally starts a feminist movement.

Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the beloved bestselling The Inheritance Games This captivating and colorful adventure that reads like a modern day fairy tale, from the b estselling author of the Shatter Me series is the perfect gift! Why couldn't Lady Justice just wear jeans and a T-shirt?' I complain. 'I mean, if she had a choice.' This book really made me think about how embedded sexism is in all our minds. I LOVED the author’s writing style and how easily she managed to discuss SO many prejudices against women that are happening everyday but aren’t given much of a thought by us. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...Warning: This book features an unlikable female character, intersectional feminism, and instruction for the fall of the patriarchy. And kissing, lots of kissing. Not Here To Be Liked is the YA contemporary I needed! It follows Eliza Quan the hard-working managing director of her school's newspaper running for the post of editor-in-chief. And she's the perfect choice, until Len, the ex baseball star runs against her and wins. What follows is the start of a feminist movement in her school, questioning the sexist behaviour prevalent. An interesting meditation on what it means to be a Gen Z feminist. Eliza is a compelling character. This mettle-bearing romcom is ideal for any teenager interested in not just feminist philosophy but also what it means to carry that philosophy into the real world." Booklist Set in an Asian majority area, 'Not Here to Be Liked' gives insight into Asian culture and sheds light on the lives of immigrants that travel to America in search of a better life for their family.

Oh, my parents tell me to keep my head down, too,” Serena pipes up. “They especially don’t like the idea of girls making a scene. It’s totally annoying, but they’re all about that ‘good Asian’ thing.” How women are held upto certain beauty standards. They’re told what is beautiful and what’s not and how they’re taught from the beginning that beauty is what matters the most, which is extremely sexist so I appreciated that being discussed. Kim is only two years older than me, so she used to go to Willoughby, too. Last year, when she was a senior, I thought I’d finally be free of her when she graduated, but then of course she ended up at UC Irvine. “So close!” Dad said. “You don’t need to stay in the dorms. Waste of money.” So here we are. Like old times. Yeah, exactly!” Serena snaps her fingers in recognition. “But we want to break out of stereotypes, right? Wouldn’t this be a great way to do that?”

short version: it’s about feminism and has asian rep, so i really wanted to like it, but there were too many things that annoyed me. the characters are so bland and stereotypical that i genuinely can’t tell if this whole book is satire or not since none of them got any character development. the writing style was below bar in my opinion, none of the family drama is sought through and had way more potential, especially Eliza’s mom and sister, and even Len’s mom. the romance was very underwhelming for me too. A smart romance with heart and guts and all the intoxicating feelings in between.” —Maureen Johnson, New York Timesbestselling author of 13 Little Blue Envelopes
