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.
