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. (Taken from goodreads.com)
Marva has been waiting for this day her whole life, being able to vote in her first presidential election. Duke can not wait for this election to be over, he doesnt want anything to do with it and barely wants to vote. But he knows it’s what his brother would have wanted from him, so he does it anyways. But when Duke finds out that he can’t vote in the place he thought he could, Marva decides its her responsibility to help him.
Marva and Duke are very different but understand each other better than anyone else could.
This is the first book I have ever read by Brandy Colbert and I loved it so much!
I loved getting to know these characters and the fact that voting was so important. This story is about making a change in the world and in a year where things can go any way, I think this is an important read.
I highly recommend picking up this book!
