Description
In 2042 Washington, D.C., the United States has fractured into two starkly divided worlds: Uplands, where the elite, wealthy, and predominantly white hold power, and Lowlands, where the marginalized are abandoned to fend for themselves. Aria Petros, a fearless organizer for the underground resistance collective Expectus, must lead a desperate mission to protect her people as a catastrophic hurricane barrels toward the eastern seaboard. But the fight for survival is only the beginning--Aria soon realizes that the only way to dismantle the corrupt Upland regime is to infiltrate it from within. Her best chance? Neil Rao, a high school flame she hasn't seen in years--now the golden boy of Upland and son of the most powerful woman in government. Trusting him could mean salvation. Falling for him again could mean ruin. As Hurricane Eamon tears through the Atlantic coast, Aria and Neil are thrust into a battle far greater than the storm itself--one that will determine the fate of a divided nation. In the wreckage, they must navigate treachery, desire, and the weight of revolution--before it's too late.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"In The Revolution Will Not Be Rated G, Keya Chatterjee hits all the notes--the musical ones, the dystopian cries for the future, the possibilities of collective action. Sultry and steamy, this romance begs the question: can utopian love exist amidst fascism? Is it the missionary position, or is it positioning for the mission? Read and find out." --Jeff Ordower, co-editor of Power Lines: Building a Labor-Climate Justice Movement
"Keya Chatterjee's engaging debut novel, set in the not-too-distant future, marries climate activism and romance to impressive effect. The Revolution Will Not Be Rated G reunites former high school flames in a high-stakes romance woven with espionage, family drama, and political intrigue. With sharp prose and a cast of characters so compelling you want to invite them for dinner, Chatterjee delivers a bold, emotionally charged story about passion, purpose, and the cost of doing what's right. The novel asks, how much are we willing to sacrifice--for the people we care about, and for the planet itself? This may be a love story, but it's also a call to action." --Ericka Taylor, Book Critic "I LOVED this book! It's what the heart needs as we hunker down to built the democracy we deserve and steward the planet through recovering from the renewed, bald attack on it." --Connie Razza, Executive Director of Future Currents "At a time of political disarray and disappointment, Chatterjee provides us with a ray of hope: a vision of a future where humans prioritize taking care of each other over oppressing each other. The fact that it has spies, sex, revolution, and rockets is just the cherry on top of an already delightful concoction." --Julia Angwin, New York Times Contributing Opinion Writer "If you're looking for a fast-paced and fun romance novel that also gives you hope that we can get out of the political mess we are in, The Revolution Will Not Be Rated G is for you! Set against a backdrop of racial authoritarianism and climate chaos in a near-future Washington, DC, Keya's book delivers that most essential of romance tropes--a second chance for us all." --Jake Cumsky-Whitlock, Co-Owner, Solid State Books "Saving the world is going to take many tools, from solar panels to...sweaty, taut torsos and supple, seductive curves. Keya Chatterjee has reimagined the romance novel to include the powerful romance of fighting for a better world. But if she wants to cool the planet, her world is still a hot hot place." --Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun"Romance. If you longingly look back to the 2010s dystopian craze, you'll be glad to know it's back. For those who were teenagers during this time and are looking for something more adult with an emphasis on romance, this is the perfect read. A queer Romeo-and-Juliet tale set in 2042 Upland and Lowland US, where segregation is back, and hurricane Eamon is set to destroy all with the help of the richest. As Aria and Neil find themselves in the eye of the storm--literally--you'll find yourself captivated by both the romance and the many plot twists this book holds." --Robin Van Impe, Literary Hub
