Eliza Quan doesn’t need you to like her.  She puts in more hours than anyone and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, which makes her the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her high school paper.  At least until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her.  Suddenly, her vast qualifications mean squat.  Eliza tries too hard (and somehow also not hard enough), while the inexperienced Len, who is tall, handsome, and male, just seems more like a leader.
