À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin comes the thrilling final installment of the series, set in college and offering a new perspective on privilege, love, and our political climate.

Jared Peter Christensen is running for president (of the Junior Class Council at his university, but still). His platform is solid—built on increased equity and inclusion in all sectors of campus life—and he’s got a good chance of beating the deeply conservative business major he’s running against.

But when a transfer student enters the race, she calls Jared out for his big-talk/little-action way of moving. Dylan’s accusations make him question just how “woke” he really is. But what’s the right way to bring about change? As the campaign heats up, feelings are caught, and juicy secrets come to light, and Jared writes letters to his deceased friend Manny, hoping to make sense of his confusion. What’s a white boy to do when love and politics collide? Will he have to choose between his head and his heart?

I liked getting to see current hot button issues like DEI, police brutality, etc through the eyes of a young, white male who is trying to shed the shackles of his conditioning in order to be a better ally; but sometimes failing to do so because of his own desire to hide within the safety of the privileges afforded to him by virtue of his skin colour. It was a great listen. I would love to read a book from Dylan’s perspective.
