Gr 7 Up—Nala hopes to have her first brush with summer romance and finds a possible partner in civics-minded Tye
Brown. To impress him, the Black girl tells a few lies about her own activism. Watson's novel features a young
woman comfortable in her own skin but who still struggles with self-love. The honest prose is laced with humor,
poetic language, and heart.

"The most radical thing you can do is love yourself and each other.”

I didn’t care too much about the romance here, but I liked the characters, especially JT! The romance is more so in the background while Nala’s character development is in the front.

As someone who has been involved in community organizing, especially for black and environmental issues, I understood Nala’s feelings with the activists to an extent. Sometimes you meet people so passionate (they eat, breathe, sleep it) about something, you feel your zeal doesn’t compare to theirs. But I thought Nala would come around eventually. I also enjoyed that Nala was self-aware to understand her cousin Imani’s feelings may have stemmed from resentment.

Let this be a lesson: Sit cho’ behind down and stop lying all the doggone time. Seriously, even the littlest lies can catapult into something big. Just be honest even if it’s uncomfortable. Still, I think the story managed to show this without getting too preachy.

i would recommend this book because the main character nala has a whole list of what she wants to do over the summer but her main thing is to find love. and i love nala and her new love get along in this book, and i would alos consider this book to be page turning because they start to get along more page by page ( )

This was a really sweet book! I struggled a bit at the beginning, just because it is hard to read as Nala lies to impress a guy. But, to be fair, this is something many teenagers (and even some adults) do, and props to Renée Watson for tackling a realistic issue here and for writing a wonderful story about a black teenager coming to know and love herself.

Where this book really shone for me was in its emphasis on extended family and genuine friendship. The supporting characters really made the story- Grandma, JT, Ms. Mabel, the other Sugar Hill Senior Living residents, Sadie. Nala’s growth and her support system were so interconnected, and this really highlighted the notion that both self-love and healthy romantic love can’t exist in isolation from community. ( )
