內容簡介
內容簡介 Jamie 對政治有熱忱,但不喜歡面對人群的猶太男孩,生性害羞,要他敲陌生人的門,那是不可能的。 Maya面臨父母離異,好朋友另有新對象的穆斯林女孩,慘的是,她所在的州可能會通過恐穆斯林法案。Jamie和Maya兩人同為選舉義工,為了法案,他們挨家挨戶敲門,遊說民眾投票。民調支持度愈來愈高,愈來愈近,Jamie和Maya的關係也是。他們有共同的政治熱忱,但存在在本身的文化差異要怎樣跨越呢? 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.
