Didn't vibe with the main character, but overall, a good book with great messages. Would recommend for early to middle high school students.

I can always count on Renee Watson to write amazing MG and YA titles and Love is a Revolution is no exception. I loved many things about this book and to honor the style of the book I will list them.
1. It has a plus size main character and the fact that she’s plus sized isn’t a problem/issue for anyone. She loves her body & gets a hot boy too (here for it)
2. Nala is still figuring out who she going into her senior year which a lot of kids can relate to. She’s not sure if college is the right track for her and spends the book thinking about her future
3. Nala has an unconventional family life in that she lives with her aunt and uncle and cousin (who is more like a sister) because her mom couldn’t handle raising her
4. Lots of focus on Harlem, woke teens and social justice/activism
5. The message of loving yourself first is the best
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Okay so I enjoyed this book! I saw this at my local library and was draw in by the cover. It’s beautiful. I hated Tye at first and he was annoying, hints the 4 stars. It was an easy read and it definitely made me miss high school. I’m 26 but my favorite part was how much I connected to the main character. She reminds me of myself at that age and how I was finding myself. I will definitely be adding this book to my bookshelf!

Others have mentioned Nala being a frustrating character and she definitely was at times. I felt that added to her being more realistic as a teen character though. I wish there was a little more on her and Tye’s love story and how it ends, but I liked that this book included her relationship with her family and the ups and downs with them. It was an overall nice and easy read.
