By Becky Albertalli, Aisha Saeed
Two teens navigate political canvassing and unexpected romance amidst personal challenges.
Jamie, a shy volunteer, and Maya, enduring a tough Ramadan, are thrust into political canvassing. As they knock on doors, they face personal hurdles and a budding cross-cultural romance. Can they master activism and their growing feelings as the election—and their connection—intensifies?
A book about the power of love and resistance from New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed.YESJamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state senate candidate–as long as he’s behind the scenes. When it comes to speaking to strangers (or, let’s face it, speaking at all to almost anyone) Jamie’s a choke artist. There’s no way he’d ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes…until he meets Maya. NOMaya Rehman’s having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is canceled, and now her parents are separating. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing–with some awkward dude she hardly knows–is beyond her. MAYBE SOGoing door to door isn’t exactly glamorous, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer–and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely.
