In Florida, where they seem to have nothing better to do, or elsewhere. Not that book banning is a laughing matter, by any means.

(Note: They were a laughingstock from the start.)

Because if they weren't a laughingstock before, they are now. But in a sense, I celebrate the blatant overstep on the part of Moms for Liberty.

Roberts is, as she should be, pissed off. And Mac will have to turn to her three best friends-and business partners-to see her way to her own happy ending. Of course, casual flings can turn into something more when you least expect it. But a casual fling might be just what she needs to take her mind off bridezillas. Wedding photographer Mackensie 'Mac' Elliot is most at home behind the camera, but her focus is shattered moments before an important wedding rehearsal when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother.an encounter that has them both seeing stars.Ī stable, safe English teacher, Carter Maguire is definitely not Mac's type. Here's the blurb from the first book, Vision in White: Some of these recently banned titles make up 'The Bride Quartet,' a series of four books about friends who run a wedding-planning business. They had to get rid of Roberts' books as well. The ironically named Moms for Liberty group in Martin County wasn't content pulling Judy Blume and Jodi Picoult books off library shelves. At least if I had set the story in Florida. Maybe that would have made it more realistic. I never thought to include any Nora Roberts books on their reading list, though. I mean, how likely would it be that Jason's band of happy readers would encounter such strong opposition? is hardly alone in banning books, for a democracy we seem to take it to a whole 'nother level every so often.) Like I said, I was mildly concerned it was almost overdone. It was meant to be funny, while also addressing an odious practice with a long history in our country. They eventually enter a protest float in the town's Christmas parade, which only inflames matters, literally, when someone sets it on fire. The school board votes to require all books chosen be preapproved by them, at which point Jason and friends take it underground. The titles grow increasingly controversial, from The Sun Also Rises to At Play in the Fields of the Lord to The Virgin Suicides. But when some, let's call them less-progressive, students object to the book selections, things get heated. For those that didn't read it (which, based on sales figures would be most of you), Jason moves to a small town in Eastern Washington after his parents split up, and is pleasantly surprised to find a student-led literature club exists at the high school. When I wrote about book banning in Dispatches from a Tourist Trap, I was afraid that some parts went a little over the top.
