This book mixed well the coming of age story with the politics and religious themes. I loved both of the characters, especially the different narrators, and how they got along.
It has a great storytelling and I loved the small conflicts throughout the book.

A mostly light, fun YA romance with politics thrown in for contemporary relevance. The writing wasn’t thrilling, and it was a bit too long for what it was, but I enjoyed it well enough.

For no reason in particular cough

he put their photo on insa without asking, therefore breaking trust, invading children's privacy and then acting like he was perfectly within his right to

cough, I hate Gabe.
Also this book is so slow, it took me forever to read, but I will say Jamie was anxious without being obnoxious, which is a hard thing to master.
Loving the muslin, poc and jewish rep but I found the plot soooooo drawn out. OMG and

Sophie!! This is a great example of background queer characters done well!

. Although this book felt a little patronising at many points, very motivational message above in character speach.

This was soo fucking good, for someone who doesn’t like romance books i rate them p high most of the time lol
The only reason it wasn’t 5 is cause it wasn’t totally believable that they went canvassing 1 time unwillingly and then we’re totally up for it after that
