“You Should See Me In A Crown” by Leah Johnson • Book Review

Published: Jun 2, 2020 by Scholastic

“We are not above mistakes, not stronger than death, but we sure know how to love.”

★★★★ (4 / 5 stars) This was such a sweet novel with everything we look for in a YA contemporary romance: college pressure, friendship drama, campus gossip, new kisses, self-discovery, PROM...

I adored the window into Liz’s life for these few short months near the end of her high school career. The romance was handled beautifully with all the butterfly-moments I was hoping for. Not to mention the tasteful discussions of LGBTQ+ acceptance and intersectionality. I would definitely recommend this as a light, feel-good read for fans of teen contemporary fiction.
