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.

An endearing and powerful book. Thought provoking. Very enjoyable.Yes No Maybe So by Becky albertali and Aisha Saed is a very unforgettable book. Amazing plot. Amazing characters. Really good writing style. It is a lovely story with two main characters Maya and Jamie who reluctantly go together to campaign for a candidate but quickly get into it and try to bring a change in the community. It deals with a lot of heavy topics including islamophobia, discriminatory laws, politics, election campaigns accompanied by complicated friendships, families and relationships. One thing that I really liked is that it didn't feel like the cultural and religious diversity was forced.The book definitely has problems but the good parts were too good (hence the 5🌟). Since I am not an American so my point of view might be different from someone who lives there.Loved it. Left me quite emotional, angry (not at the book but some of the things that happen in the book which unfortunately are a reality)
