In Kara H.L Chen's "Love & Resistance," two teens with plans to take down a problematic queen bee begin to catch feelings for one another. Olivia Chang does better when she's on her own, so when she's at school, she keeps her head down and avoids her classmates. That's until popular Mitzi makes a racist comment in front of everyone, and when Olivia sticks up for herself, she draws more attention than she could have imagined. Unable to return to her life of solitude, Olivia accepts an invitation to Nerd Net, a secret club that has been trying to call out Mitzi's harmful behavior. Letting people — especially handsome fellow Nerd Net member Griff — into her life might be a bigger challenge than taking down the meanest girl in school.
