Yes No Maybe So

Product Information

MINOR SPOILER - I think I'm also growing out of YA (especially contemporary), because the petty miscommunication towards the end really pissed me off. It really grinds my gears when miscommunication is used as the main climax towards the end of a book, but maybe that's my old age speaking XD Yes, this book has done better than others in the past, but it’s still not a good portrayal. I’ll die on the spot if I have to read another book that molds Muslim characters into a more “American” way of life. Like damn. And on Ramadan? Really? I’m giving it 2.5 stars simply for the writing. Maya is a Pakistani-American and yet I couldn’t tell you if that was mentioned more than once in the book. Just that she seemed “south asian”. And it’s literally Ramadan. Where is her religious identity. WHERE. Minus fasting and literally going to the masjid once, there is zero. There aren’t even any Muslim characters besides her parents and the Imam (who all have 2D roles and 5 minutes of screen time shared). Where is the representation we were pretending to have??? I get there are some people that live Maya’s life, but I’ve heard her story at least a million times and expected more. For a book that was claiming to have Muslim representation, I was asking myself: WHERE IS THE REP!?!? Even so, Jamie and Maya getting together at the end (not exactly a spoiler; it’s a rom-com, after all!) is far from upsetting. You’ll close the book rooting for them and the bright future they’re going to fight for, together.

I like or don't like having or giving certain kinds of sexual aftercare (like snuggling or reaffirming emotional feelings). Those are: I read at least half the book but then seemed to lose slight interest. I felt as though there wasn’t enough action and thrill. There were moments I felt needed more realism and excitement. I honestly think this book will go places, but I would love to see more energy. Also, I would consider changing the intended age demographics of the readers? Maybe 18+ as they may have more of an understanding around the idea of politics. Mable, Mable, Set the table, Don't forget the salt, Vinegar, Mustard, Pepper! (rapid turning follows) [7] [11] My major issue with this book was the writing. It was terrible. I seriously thought about DNF-ing after the first few chapters because I just couldn't get through the cheesy writing, the constant random references to pop-culture which were only there to make the characters appear "quirky". The dialogue was sometimes reminiscent of the melodramatic conversations in City of Bones and the descriptions were often what you'd expect a fifth grader to write when they were determined to write a book. You get used to it soon, and it does somewhat improve, but MAN THOSE FIRST CHAPTERS WERE HARD!While this book is intended to make you mad and feel the passion that it is so evident these authors feel about the current state of America’s government- it left me with a feeling of hope. Hope that our generation can change things. Hope that even though I am young, I can make a difference, no matter how small. Hope that life can improve for the thousands who are suffering under oppressive and discriminatory governments and sovereignties not just in the US but across the world. Yes No Maybe So is a book involving a love story between two young local activists, passionate about politics. They meet at their local senate campaign, however, it’s certainly not love at first sight. Neither of the pair enjoyed their trips around the neighbourhood together but both understand the importance of their journeys. Eventually, the two realise it’s not as bad as first thought. The book also dips into real-life issues such as divorce, mental health, and racism.

This one from Prohibition: [ citation needed] No, I won't go to Casey's any more, more, more, There's a big fat policeman by the door, door, door. He grabs you by the collar, And makes you pay a dollar. No, I won't go to Casey's any more. See also [ edit ] They became invested in religious freedom and discrimination and while their love story definitely played a part in it, the bigger part of this book—and where it shines—are the moments that show the reader that teenagers are not just sitting in front of their phone all day, doing nothing, but that they are actually worried about the political climate and where the world is going. It puts heavy emphasis on the passion children can feel about changing things and the helplessness they experience because they are told that they don’t matter until they’re 18 when they can vote. And the book completely subverted that statement to show that no matter your age, your race, your heritage, you can help make this world a better place. You just have to find your niche. I don’t know what it is with me, because after reading Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda each and every one of Albertalli’s new books has been a greater disappointment than the last and yet every time she announces her newest disaster I find myself immediately logging onto my local library and getting on the wait list...

I also just want to say that Sara is the worst friend ever. She was so horrible. It’s her fault that Maya didn’t feel like she could open up to her. And that’s all I have to say on that. Now, if Maya had expressed extreme displeasure or a desire to "break free" or if it was shown that her parents are forcing their beliefs on here, then I might have thought of this differently. I'm tired of watching authors making their female characters abandon their beliefs and pursue whatever the "American" friends or cute boys tell them to. how many doctors will it take? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc. (Go to 20 then go down to the next line)
