On this episode, we chat with debut author Michelle Quach about her upcoming YA novel Not Here To Be Liked, an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy about Eliza, who's dreams of becoming the Editor-in-Chief of her high school newspaper gets crushed when the more popular (and less qualified) Lem gets the position instead. In her anger she pens a manifesto that accidentally gets published online and Eliza inadvertently becomes the leader of a feminist movement at school.  It's a delicious mess and we had a lot of fun chatting with Michelle about her inspirations and journey as an author.Follow Michelle on IG at @_michellequach and check out her book Not Here to Be Liked at your local bookseller starting September 14, 2021!*Preorder the book &amp; support the podcast at our bookshop *Follow our hosts:Reera Yoo (@reeraboo)Marvin Yueh (@marvinyueh)Follow us:FacebookTwitterGoodreads GroupThe Books &amp; Boba September 2021 pick is Chemistry by Weike WangThis podcast is part of Potluck: An Asian American Podcast Collective Mentioned in this episode:Books &amp; Boba started a Patreon!After 6 and a half years, Books &amp; Boba has started a Patreon!
