Oddly prescient novel about a not-too distant future where an unlikely political candidate is elected President of the United States, and a young gay man’s political awakening. If you’re an Obama supporter (or even if you aren’t) this story about ordinary people who organized and mobilized around a central idea will inspire you. As the title suggests, we need to remain Wide Awake this November, and we must be prepared to live our convictions.
One of the most moving, enjoyable, and well written young-adult novels I’ve read since John Green’s An Abundance of Katherines (which should be the standard against which all YA novels are measured).
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
