CW: Voter suppression, racism and microagressions, death (off page), grief, pet goes missing, anxiety attack (on page), gun violence (off page/ brief mention)
I loved this soooo much! It reminded me of The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon - I think I say this mainly bc it's a YA set in one-day. This is such a great read to introduce teens (especially BIPOC) to what to expect on election day and it will help with Election Day jitters. Marva is such a great, complex character. I loved how passionate she was about politics and advocacy. I also just love seeing protagonists who are nerdy and her having a viral Instagram account for her cat was such a fun addition to the story! Both characters are fleshed out and have personalities. You really get to see their personalities shine through the book as you learn about Duke and Marva's passions, likes, and dislikes plus their families. The Voting Booth also has conversations about voter suppression, prejudice, and white privilege when it comes to voting. Brandy Colbert is excellent and I'm so glad I got to read this.
