Erin Bright is use to being in the spotlight. Her dad's the town mayor, so she's the first daughter and her boyfriend is always the student council president, so she's also the first girlfriend. She's never questioned her role, she just always takes it on. Fashion, school, and helping with campaigns is what her life always consists of and she doesn't expect it to change. But, the time for change comes, when a big company, Caswell Corporation, tries to buy out Everett Field, a sacred place to Erin, where she had not only her magical first date with Logan, but it's the place where her idol wrote the famous book, Restless Nature, that Erin uses as inspiration. When Erin mentions to Logan that he should help save the field, it becomes a major sore spot for both of them. It ultimately results in Erin standing up for what she believes in, by running for office against him, and trying to save the field herself.

This brings even more problems to Erin, considering the company trying to put a gas station over Everett Field, is none other than Caswell Corporation, the company that is standing behind her dad in his election campaign. Should Erin just keep her mouth shut for the sake of her dad's campaign or should she fight for what she believes in?

Popular Vote is a fast and entertaining read. Ms. Ostow's writing is catchy and she even uses blogging as a major point in her book, which we can all relate to. I like how Erin is headstrong and doesn't break when Logan doesn't agree with her and she decides to run against him. I honestly can say that I didn't see a slow point in this book. It's fast paced and the hits keep coming. I can't wait to read more from Micol Ostow! Bravo!
