Len appears to have joined the paper just because he needed something to focus on following an injury which meant he couldn't play baseball any longer. However, the role of editor in chief, a role Eliza aspired to and expected to get, goes to Len DiMartile, ex star baseball player. She believes that the effort she has put in should equal results. I loved that she felt free to be true to herself, stick by her principles and not be influenced by the expectations of others! Eliza works hard at school and on her school paper and is experienced and indeed good at what she does. She doesn't care what she looks like or even whether anyone likes her. The main character, Eliza Quan, isn't at all concerned with appearances or pleasing people. The cover artwork by Kevin Wada is also very eye-catching. It explores important themes of feminism, activism, misogyny, parental expectations and bullying. ![]() This book is set in the US and has a diverse set of characters from different backgrounds. Not Here to Be Liked is contemporary teen fiction that will really appeal to fans of Moxie and Super Awkward. ![]()
