I started this book 4 days before the end of October thinking I would maybe finish it before the end of month, and instead I ended up devouring it in 36 hours. That’s something I love about YA – it’s usually pretty fast paced and easy to get caught up in the story. This book definitely checked those boxes! It was a 3 star read for me.
Here’s 5 quick things about this book – three things I liked, two I didn’t.
- I loved the pacing of the book. It takes place over the course of one day, and while the day is jam packed, it never felt too rushed or too slow.
- The main characters were strong, smart teenagers that were passionate about something as important as voting. I thought they were refreshingly mature but also very clearly still teenagers.
- The premise of the book taking place over the course of a day was super fun – reminded me of The Sun is Also A Star, another book I really enjoyed!
- I didn’t love how many subplots happened in this book. There was SO MUCH going on for one day and I think the author could’ve made the day just as busy without adding in so many somewhat complex side stories.
- I wish we had more of a look into the sister of Duke, the male protagonist. I wanted more of her and instead we just got little snippets!
