This was a PERFECT Valentine's read. Light and heartwarming, but still with an important message!
Jamie and Maya rekindle their childhood friendship the summer before their senior year of high school while canvassing for a state senate special election. Neither of them starts the summer wanting to knock on doors and talk to strangers, but as they grow to understand the stakes of local politics, they develop a passion for the cause, a comfort with campaigning, and possibly more. ;)
I could really relate to Jamie and Maya's passion for campaigning, actually DOING something to help make the world a better place. I hope and pray this book inspires more young people to learn about and get involved in local politics.
