Review: Yes No Maybe So

Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it

Summary:
Jamie Goldberg, an awkward guy, is working with his cousin on a State Senate campaign. He enjoys being involved, as long as it's behind the scenes. Maya Rehman, an outgoing gal, is dealing with a canceled summer trip, an MIA best friend, and parents that are separating. The two couldn't be more different. In a weird twist, the two (re)meet at a Ramadan celebration, realizing that they were great friends as children. Their mothers, friends for many years, determine that the two should join the door-to-door canvassing for the political candidate. Through the hours of canvassing, they grow closer and learn more about each other.

Review:
I really enjoyed the story of these two. The political story seems loosely based on the Raphael Warnock special election, with the tense and personal stories on the line. I liked learning about the behind the scenes of some of the political elections, as well as how to contact those currently in office. I also really liked learning more about Ramadan through the interactions between Maya and Jamie. A mostly easy read, with some twists and turns on the way to a happy ending for most in the story.
