This book is nothing like it’s premise: it’s about feminism and speaking out and, as the title says, not needing to be liked. The mc- Eliza Quan, writes a manifesto expressing her anger about losing the battle for chief editor against an under qualified boy in her school, ranting about sexism and it’s numbers in her school. The private manifesto gets posted and people shame her for it. In a wild series of events, she gains momentum for her movement to end sexism in her school and in the process, falls in love. It’s a good book with developed characters and strong relationships.
