Is there a non-Prom way to get a crown?

You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

February 18, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I really wanted to like this a lot more than I did, unfortunately. A gay-verging-on-bi WOC lead discovering herself and chasing her dreams in high school? It’s definitely up there on the list and I was pretty excited when it came off of hold. The issue was that the main premise never stopped feeling incredibly contrived, to the point of distraction.

October 31, 2020 by narfna 4 Comments

I was drawn to this book by the positive reviews, yes, but first by the unbelievable cuteness that is this cover and title. (This impulse also kind of bit me in the butt, more on that later.) You Should See Me in a Crown follows Liz Lighty, high school senior, who lives in a town that is utterly obsessed by prom. It is a Big Deal. The Queen and King even get scholarships. So, when funding for Liz’s college falls through (and she doesn’t want […]
