Renée Watson
From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Renée Watson comes a love story about love-not only in a romantic relationship but also in how a girl finds herself and falls in love with who she really is. When Nala Robertson reluctantly agrees to attend an open mic night for her cousin-sister-friend Imani's birthday, she finds herself falling in instant love with Tye Brown, the MC. He's perfect, except . . . Tye is an activist and is spending his summer putting on events for the community when Nala would rather spend hers watching movies and trying out the new flavors at the local creamery. But to impress Tye, Nala tells a few tiny lies to have enough in common with him. As they spend more time together, sharing more of themselves, some of those lies get harder to keep up. As Nala falls deeper into love and into keeping up her lies , she'll learn all the ways love is hard, and how self-love is revolutionary. In Love Is a Revolution, the ultimate love story is not only about romance but about how to show radical love to the people in your life, including to yourself.

"I love how Nala calls people out on being condescending. Judging a person for not being able to quote all the great minds of history and for not being an extreme activist on every front is not going to encourage a body to join your cause. This book is a beautiful exploration of finding the balance between friend love, family love, romantic love and self love. Four and a half stars. "
