From New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed comes aheart-warming, hilariousstoryabout the power of love and resistance.
Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state candidate - as long as hes behind the scenes.Theres no way hed ever knock on doors to ask people for their votesuntil he meets Maya.
Maya Rehmans having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is cancelled, her parents are separating and now hermother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing - with some awkward guy she hardly knows ...
Going door to door isnt exactly glamorous, but maybe its 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 crushof the century is another thing entirely.

'A novel bursting with hope, truth and action . . .Yes No Maybe Sois about speaking up, showing up and being an effective ally. But at its core its a reminder that the Greta Thunbergs, Malala Yousafzais and Autumn Peltiers of today were once Jamies and Mayas: everyday teenagers who saw their house was on fire and worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze' The New York Times Book Review
