You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

This book somehow manages to nail what it’s like to have a chronically ill younger sibling, high school nostalgia, the stress of prom season, anxiety, and being queer all at once. Listen to the audio, Alaska Jackson is fantastic.

So I did NOT expect to like this book as much as I did. I've noticed that in general I'm not the biggest fan of YA books because I get annoyed at some of the obstacles that young characters have to go through. I guess I just can't relate as much anymore. That being said, that was not an issue in this book. I was so involved in the story and the obstacles that came from it the things that would normally bother me just didn't.

So our main character is an over achieving musician who doesn't get the music scholarship that she needs to go to her dream collage. But because her high school is way into prom they give out scholorships for the prom king and queen so she decides to run for prom queen despite it being totally out of her comfort zone.

There is a cute lesbian romance, a focus on friendships and self discovery. I loved it!

Heel schattig en vermakelijk boek met leuke personages. Miste voor mij alleen nog een beetje diepgang.

3.5 for me. This was cute, and an important addition to the ya scene with a little more normalized representation. Twas just a bit predictable and could have used a little more depth in some of the storylines for me. A good first novel though!
