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.
It's another mixed review!
There was some good banter, though, and the story overall was fun. It definitely touched on some important topics. It was just hard for me to get past how mean Eliza was. But I think this will do well.
