The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
4.0
This was really cute!
The Voting Booth is about a girl named Marva who is passionate about voting. On her first election day ever, she runs into Duke who is over voting. He just wants to get it over with but due to going to the wrong polling location, he can't vote. So Marva takes it on herself to help him get his vote in, all while dealing with her missing cat.
I really liked Marva and I loved how passionate she was about voting and elections. I just read another book about elections / running so I couldn't help comparing them but I think I liked this one more. This book takes place all in one day, except when we have flashbacks and I was... okay with it?? Maybe because I was listening to the audiobook and the audiobook was freakishly short, but I didn't have my normal issue of wanting to scream when books take place over practically 5 minutes.
Weirdly enough I wanted more about the election and voter suppression problems and less of the missing cat that is also a social media star. It just felt like such a random sideplot that was thrown in last minute because the book was too short.
Apparently I don't know how to write reviews anymore but this was fun, important, and I didn't have that many problems with it.
