Review: Yes No Maybe So

Yes No Maybe So

Publisher: Balzer + Bray

Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed brings together cultures and traditions through love and political activism in a moving story that follows a local election in Georgia. Maya and Jamie are canvassing together, fighting to turn a solidly red district blue. From their shared love of donuts and The Office, the two become extremely close. The book is a great representation of how people’s everyday lives are affected because of the political views of people in power. I loved this book because it shows young people that our voice does matter, and we can make a difference. Albertalli and Saeed weave together words and cultures in a way that perfectly expresses what it feels like to be a teenager in today’s political climate.
