What do you do when you lose your school paper election to be editor in chief and write a scathing article about why the only reason you lost was because you were a female and that everyone in your club was misogynistic... well apparently you launch a full on feminist movement at your school and demand the guy who won resign... and maybe fall in love with him. Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor in chief, she is qualified and does her job well, except when it comes down to the votes she loses to ex-jock nice guy Len DiMartile who has only just joined the school paper. Eliza writes her frustrations out in a viral essay... but it accidentally gets published and now the entire school is awakened to the feminist movement as well as picking between Eliza and Len. But as tensions rise, Eliza and Len find that they’ll have to be working side by side and showing they can be civil... except the fact that they might be falling for each other. Living up to the title, Eliza is extremely prickly, in fact that’s the main reason she loses the election. Eliza is cold, blunt, and just an outright bitch to people and she doesn’t regret anything. She looks down on her sister for just wearing makeup and wanting to dress nice, and definitely gives off a “pick me” girl vibe and that just... so... well at least Eliza is now getting to learn about what it means to be a feminist. Eliza is solely focused on getting Len to resign, she does some pretty bad things, like making everyone believe he is a misogynist, making an entire campaign to get people to hate him, and just treating him badly in public. The main issue here that she just couldn’t seem to grasp was that ELIZA was the issue, she was rude to people, she was mean, and honestly if you know how elections work why do you think most people went for the nice chill guy over you Eliza when no one actually likes you because you literally don’t like them?? Now onto the other issue of the book, the way it addresses feminism. Belittling, making fun of, and just judging other girls for wearing makeup and wanting to look pretty? Really Eliza? Her entire feminist movement solely focused on getting Len to resign and honestly the feminism felt superficial at best. So sadly, even though this had all the things to make a book I would generally love like : enemies to lovers trope, feminism, asian rep.... this book just didn’t hit the mark for me.
