Love is a Revolution by Renée Watson

Hardcover book 'Love is a Revolution' by Renée Watson. 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 emcee. He's perfect, except ... Tye is an activist and is spending the summer putting on events for the community when Nala would rather watch movies and try out the new seasonal flavors at the local creamery. In order to impress Tye, Nala tells a few tiny lies. When the two spend more time together, sharing more of themselves, some of those lies get harder to sustain. As Nala falls deeper into keeping up her lies and into love, and as she fights for her relationship with Imani, too, 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 also about showing radical love to the people in your life, including to yourself. From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Renée Watson comes a story about first love and how a girl finds herself and falls in love with who she really is.
