I love that the author included characters that have had to face many different issues in their short lives; it made it more realistic. I will definitely look for more books written by Leah Johnson in the future. This was an enjoyable and quick read. ( ) Perfectly nice book about competition for Prom Queen in a small town that makes a huge deal about it. Can a girl who doesn't fit the mold (nerdy, black, lesbian) win the crown? While I enjoyed this I felt like it was all a bit too surface level and I never really felt close or invested in the characters or relationships the way that I wanted to. That said, I'm really glad that books like this exist now because they certainly didn't when I was a teen. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay??Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down... until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams... or make them come true? No library descriptions found. |
