The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
4.0
The Voting Booth takes place over the course of a single day - Election day. For both Duke and Marva this day is incredibly important to them. When Duke is not allowed to vote, he and Marva skip school and go on a wild journey that takes them farther than they thought, in order to make sure Duke gets his ballot cast.
I enjoyed this, I read it through libro.fm and at first I felt the narrator was hard to listen too - but once I sped the speed up to around 1.75 I was able to really enjoy the narration. The audiobook is duel-narrated to cover both perspectives of the book, Duke and Marva. I really love it when this happens in audiobooks. It can be a risk if one narrator is better than the other, but I thought both did well.
One-day romances can often seem extremely unrealistic but this was written very well and I never found myself thinking "pfft, a real person would NEVER". The characters grow and learn throughout the story in such an organic way. Meanwhile, Brandy Colbert weaves MANY incredibly important issues in the world today into her story and they all flow together seamlessly.
Thoroughly enjoyed, and highly recommend it. ESPECIALLY in this current political climate.
