HE MUST LIKE YOU

Danielle Younge-Ullman

Libby's having a rough year. She just found out that her university "fund" has mysteriously depleted and her parents are evicting her when she graduates school so they can Airbnb her room. Balancing her senior year in school, her new job at a local restaurant and applying to colleges isn't easy. Which is why she doesn't think when Perry, a regular "handsy" customer at The Goat where she waitresses, pushes her over the edge and she dumps a pitcher of sangria on his head. Unfortunately, Perry is a local industry hero, the restaurant's most important customer and Libby's mom's boss. Now Libby has to navigate the fallout of her outburst and deal with her increasing rage at the guys who've screwed up her life-- and her increasing crush on the one guy who truly gets her. As timely as it is timeless, HE MUST LIKE YOU is a story about consent, rage and revenge, and the potential we all have to be better people.
