Happy Monday! It's the first day of school in NYC and I pray all the kids are safe and happy. QOTD: What book title grabbed your attention right away? "Not Here to Be Liked" by Michelle Quach releases tomorrow and I am excited to share this one with you today. The title grabbed me right away because it is definitely my personal mantra. I remember wanting to be a journalist in my teens and having "enemies" I crushed on. I love that this one has an Asian protagonist that is tired of staying quiet and decides to take a stand and ends up forming a feminist movement in school. And please don't get me started on this gorgeous cover! Thanks to @epicreads for the gifted copy. 💥SYNOPSIS💥 Emergency Contact meets Moxie in this cheeky and searing novel that unpacks just how complicated new love can get…when you fall for your enemy. Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her school paper. That is, until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len—who is tall, handsome, and male—just seems more like a leader. When Eliza’s frustration spills out in a viral essay, she finds herself inspiring a feminist movement she never meant to start, caught between those who believe she’s a gender equality champion and others who think she’s simply crying misogyny. Amid this growing tension, the school asks Eliza and Len to work side by side to demonstrate civility. But as they get to know one another, Eliza feels increasingly trapped by a horrifying realization—she just might be falling for the face of the patriarchy himself. #NotHeretoBeLiked #MichelleQuach #EpicReads #HarperKids #Asianlit #newrelease #HarperInfluencer #ReadYA #YARomance #debutnovel #bookfeature #bookphotos #bookish #BooksandMurals #BooksandArt #bookdragon #feminism #hardcover #bookstagram #diversereads #Asian #representationmatters #ownvoices #booksbooksbooks #bookworm #YA (at The Bushwick Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxLSwoLNBf/?utm_medium=tumblr
