Book of Interest: You Should See Me in a Crown

I have been wanting to read You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson for a while. I need to go ahead and buy it or see if it's at the library because I really want to read it. This just seems like it will be an interesting story with Liz Lighty trying become Prom Queen in order to win a scholarship. However a potential romance might dash her chances of wining. This looks a fun story and I love the cover.

Book: You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

Description:

Becky Albertalli meets Jenny Han in a smart, hilarious, Black Girl Magic, own voices rom-com by a staggeringly talented new writer.

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?
