Publisher Description
A book about the power of love and resistance from New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed.
YES
Jamie 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.
NO
Maya 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 SO
Going 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When it comes to politics or social activism, almost everyone feels helpless sometimes. But Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed’s novel is an inspiring reminder that everyone holds the power to effect change. Pushed by their families into canvassing for a local politician, Maya and Jamie are kind of stuck with each other for the whole summer. Despite Jamie’s social anxiety and Maya’s troubles at home, the duo slowly develop a touching friendship—and more. The teens navigate their cultural differences (he’s Jewish, she’s Muslim) with all the messiness you’d expect in real life and all the sensitivity that comes with real love. Tiya Sircar, known for her supporting role on The Good Place, and Michael Crouch, an award-winning narrator, give voice to Maya and Jamie’s compelling tale. Hearing them is like listening to two friends tell you a really juicy story. But while we’re here for the laughs and romance, their political awakening is what makes Yes No Maybe So really resonate. It’s a welcome story of standing up for something you truly believe in.
