This Book Lives Up to the Hype (You Should See Me in a Crown - Leah Johnson)

To celebrate Black History Month I picked up You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson after hearing all of the hype about it. It follows Liz as she attempts to win prom queen and the scholarship that goes along with it, so she can afford her dream college. I rave over how real the high school feels, compare this book to some of my favorite and least favorite YA novels, and talk about popularity and the friendships in this book.
