You Should See Me in a Crown follows our main character, Liz Lighty, through her senior year of high school in a small Midwestern town. In order to afford her dream university, Liz enters into the running for prom queen. At her school, the winners of prom king and queen get $10,000. Which is exactly how much money Liz needs for college.We follow Liz as she faces hardship, a new relationship, making new friends, and as she steps out of her shell. To me, the most compelling part of this book is all it represents.Liz, the main character, is black and only her close friends and family know she is gay.Throughout this book there are the following trigger warnings: anxiety, homophobia,being outed, and losing a parent. Overall, I rate this book a 5/5. It is such a good read and while there are some tough topics, it will make you so happy. To top it all off, the cover is gorgeous and the book is a quick read.
