Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed's Yes No Maybe So
Do you need a super cute YA romance about progressive politics in your life? Yes, yes you do. This co-written novel focuses on a Jewish teen boy, plagued by social anxiety, and a Muslim girl, dealing with newly separated parents, who pair up to canvas for a state senatorial candidate in Atlanta. I love both characters and their relationships with friends and families (I was obviously partial to the sassy Jewish grandma and the sassy Jewish little sister). They felt like real kids, even if I did find the romance stuff to be sliiiiightly cheesy. Still, I was rooting for them! This was so cute and super relevant to our modern times! A/A-.
