Yes No Maybe So

Overall, this is a sweet story about two teenagers who spend their summer campaigning for a state senate candidate in Georgia. The book follows about a month of their summer and is full of complications from friendships to family issues to the complexities of their own relationship. But it also gives teenagers a clear site into what activism can look like for a teenager who wants to get involved in politics—from either side of the aisle (although this book is told from a Democrat campaign POV)

The authors did a great job getting into the minds and issues that I at least remember feeling as a teenager, albeit they certainly mend their problems in a healthier way. It would have been five stars for me if the representation in the book hadn't felt like so much more of a subplot to the rom com feel.
