This was a great book. I liked how this book touched on topics that are ongoing. Bringing in culture, politics and romance without spice. This is rare for a YA book so I really appreciated it.

Well written and fantastically narrated! We Don't Have Time for This will resonate with many high school students who fight for change in their schools and home communities. This is a must have for all collections serving teens.

Story starts with high school student Isa Brown dealing with yet another wildfire endangering her community.. As a high school Guidance Counselor in Southern California wild fires have become a year round threat. We have very little rain and a lot of hillside dry fields. In fact, we have had had a ‘no burn’ restriction for several years – no outside bon fires as well as indoor fires in our home fireplaces. It is beyond me why we are allowed to have fireworks on the 4th. (I sound like one of the teens in the environment club!)

Isa also has concerns about a new pipeline threatening her father's job.
She is hoping her involvement in the school's environmental justice club will make a difference. She and Darius Freeman are co-presidents. Only Darius has a different focus. His goal is to get into a highly selective college. With a goal of going into political aspirations, and figures this will look good on his college application (Unfortunately this line of thinking is too true of many students,)
Needless to say, Isa and Darius clash a bit over club goals.
When Darius finally takes a good look what's truly at stake in their community he works with Isa on his ambitions as well as what environmental action, they need to be collaborate on.

Yes! I did like this story and know that high school teens really do want to make a difference and yes they find the time to do it!

Want to thank Disney NetGalley and Disney Audiobooks/Hyperion for granted me this audiobook.
