Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams. But Mack is also in the running for queen. She’s smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. Her bestselling debut YA novel, YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN was the inaugural Reeses Book Club YA pick, and was named a best book of the year by Cosmo, Marie Claire, Publishers Weekly, and New York Public Library among others. 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. Leah Johnson (she/her) is an editor, educator, and author of books for young adults. until she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom king and queen. 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.īut when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz’s plans come crashing down. Liz Lighty has always believed she’s too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. (And yes, it is an f/f Romance!) The second I finished reading it I wanted to pass my ARC around like candy, and while maybe that kind of sharing isn’t the best idea these days, I definitely recommend getting your hands on your own as soon as you can! Clever, funny, romantic, and empowering, You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson (Scholastic, June 1) is just so much of what makes both Contemporary YA and YA Romance great.
