The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert

Duke is in a pinch for time. He’s committed to voting but it seems like the world is against him when he discovers that despite pre registering to vote he’s not only not registered hit his car has broken down too! That’s when he meets Marva, an activist committed to making sure everyone can vote. The pair spend the day together determined to make sure Duke votes and makes it to hard band’s show on time as well as looking for Marva’s missing cat. Will these two accomplish their goals?

This was a charming tale from start to finish that while entertaining also highlighted some important issues the voting class faces each election, and for BIPOC inequity they face daily. This is an important read I would encourage all YA readers to pick up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5/5

📚 Book No. 46: The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance Synopsis: From Stonewall Award-winning author Brandy Colbert comes an all-in-one-day love story perfect for fans of The Sun is Also A Star. Marva Sheridan was born ready for this day. She's always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election? Duke Crenshaw is do done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band's first paying gig tonight. Only problem? Duke can't vote. When Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn't spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right. And that's how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva's missing cat), it's clear that there's more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy. Romantic and triumphant, The Voting Booth is proof that you can't sit around waiting for the world to change?but some things are just meant to be. #ebooks #ebook #ebookstagram #ebooksofinstagram #ebooksph #epub #books #ebookreader #bookworm #novels #fiction #youngadult #contemporary #romance #yaromance #thevotingbooth https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2tL95JmIx/?igshid=t8wxmwn6fink

Author @brandycolbert’s #TheVotingBooth is a great summer read for teens, educating them about voting rights, voter suppression, and some of the reasons driving the #BLM movement. An excellent listen, as well. #librofm #audiobookstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CCq_PHlAfbp/?igshid=ddwtjhph87wa
