Liz has always believed she’s too black, too poor, and too awkward to shine. She’s planned an escape route from her small town via an uber-elite college, but has no money to get there … until she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom king and queen. Liz fears the spotlight, but must face the gauntlet of social media trolls and catty competitors if she is to win the scholarship.

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?

You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah Johnson, is a smart, hilarious, black girl magic rom-com that you’re going to enjoy.
