Lula Dean's Little Library is a conglomeration of all the current hot button political issues focused on a small town of Troy, Georgia, where a college student decides to replace the books in a front yard free lending library with the titles on a banned booked list. The novel revolves around old high school rivalries and the family histories of people who have never moved on from this little town. This is a skeletons in the closet book that is often funny. Recommended for reading groups who can see both sides of the political mess.

Engaging, entertaining, and SO timely! A recommended purchase for collections where Miller's previous title was popular.

I absolutely loved Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books! I didn’t know much more than the premise: Lula Dea wanted to ban books and started a little library of books she thought were appropriate to read; a college student removed the book jackets and replaced with banned books. But this book, through its large cast of interconnected characters addresses so much more than than the right to read. Kirsten Miller weaves subplots related to neo nazism, fake news, feminism, rape, political extremism, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Great for book clubs!

This is one of those books where I almost regret reading an advanced copy -- because I want to run out and buy it for all my friends. Miller perfectly balances humor, satire, connection, and the dark /dangerous edges of our modern times, when book bans are flaring all around us. The characters are memorable, despite the cast growing quite large, and the small town vibe is perfection. I really can't wait to share this with everyone when it publishes in June.
