books is an array with objects nested inside.

What I want to achieve is: (in the traditional way)

if (i.thirdParty.goodreads.rating < 4.2) {
i.highlighted = false;
}

Now I am learning short circuit, which as said it can be written as

for (const i of books) {
  i.highlighted = i.thirdParty.goodreads.rating < 4.2 && false;
}

However, I worte it in another way and really do not understand why isn’t it working

for (const i of books) {
  i.thirdParty.goodreads.rating < 4.2 && i.highlighted = false;
}

Can someone tell me what is the problem here, thank you
