brindagurumoorthy 's review for:

The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
3.0

The library gave me a free copy of this book (probably wouldn't have read it otherwise lol). The story was cute, but the stuff about how important voting is got corny (of course, a young adult novel isn't the best place to find a nuanced discussion of the impact of voting). Overall the novel might be good for high school readers starting to understand the political system, but I alas am not one of those.

Also they totally write off one character's complaint about the 2 party system when that's a totally valid complaint about the Republican and Democratic parties and it doesn't always come from a place of privilege!!
