YES Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state senate candidate\u2014as long as he\u2019s behind the scenes. When it comes to speaking to strangers (or, let\u2019s face it, speaking at all<\/em> to almost anyone), Jamie\u2019s a choke artist. There\u2019s no way he\u2019d ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes\u2026until he meets Maya.
\nNO Maya Rehman\u2019s 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<\/em>\u2014with some awkward dude she hardly knows\u2014is beyond her.
\nMAYBE SO Going door to door isn\u2019t exactly glamorous, but maybe <\/em>it\u2019s not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer\u2014and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural romance of the century is another thing entirely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
