When a cookbook containing recipes for naughty cakes is discovered at the local public library, Lula Dean makes it her mission to rid the town of smut and enlists fellow likeminded townsfolk to join her efforts. She also installs her own Little Free Library – guaranteed to only offer the purist of options. That is, until the locals start swapping out book jackets and replacing the actual stories with those which are on the banned list. Call it luck, fate, whatever – somehow those books seem to make it into the hands of the reader who needs them most.

First off, this puppy is maybe just a little too on the nose when it comes to the current climate in the good ol’ U S of A, so steer clear if you’ve had enough of hot button issues this election cycle. Second, Lula Dean???



There should have been no sort of redemption arc for her in the end. Really, she deserved a little Regina George-ing . . . .

Jill We read this for book club, and it didn't land well for me two weeks before the election. I kept seeing it promoted as satire, but it felt like, no, this is real life except with a fairy-tale ending. I just struggle to understand who the audience this book is for. People who are already aligned with the book's message and just want to feel good? People who are on the fence and their hearts and minds could be changed?


Kelly (and the Book Boar) That’s always my problem with stories like these - the people who NEED to read them are the ones least likely to.
