I’m a sucker for a great contemporary read and thankfully, Yes No Maybe So is one of those reads! Yes No Maybe So follows Jamie and Maya, two teenagers who canvas door-to-door for the upcoming senate election. While they are both incredibly different from one another, the experience brings them closer together. First of all, I adore these characters so much. Jamie is a really awkward teenager but he’s absolutely adorable.
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
Since I’m always on the hunt for great contemporary reads, What If It’s Us has been on my radar. Thankfully, I really enjoyed this book! What If It’s Us follows Arthur and Ben. After meeting at a post office in New York City, they quickly build a friendship over the course of a summer.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
In January, the HCC Frenzy team invited me to an advance screening of Love, Simon. Obviously, I jumped on the opportunity! Since I hadn’t read the book yet, I made sure to read it before seeing the movie! Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda follows Simon, a gay teenager who isn’t so open about it. While exchanging e-mails with a boy named Blue, another student discovers it. This ultimately results in blackmailing.
