NOT HERE TO BE LIKED

Eliza Quan doesn’t need you to like her. She puts in more hours than anyone else and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, which makes her the perfect candidate for editor-in-chief of her high school paper. At least...until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Eliza tries too hard (and somehow also not hard enough), while the inexperienced Len, who is tall, handsome, and male, just seems more like a leader. When Eliza’s frustration about the sexism spills out in an essay gone viral, she unwittingly finds herself at the helm of a feminist movement, caught between two camps at school: those who believe she’s a gender rights champion, and others who think she’s simply the girl who cried misogyny. And when the administration asks Eliza and Len to work side-by-side to demonstrate civility, Eliza feels increasingly trapped by a horrifying realization—she just might be falling for the face of the patriarchy himself...
