Has this book been optioned yet? Because it has the makings of the next big Netflix teen rom-com! It's seriously feel-good, with lots of fun prom shenanigans and a lovable cast of characters. Plus, the struggle of figuring out how to pay for college is (sadly) more relevant every year!
In addition to the sweet sapphic romance, Liz's family and friends were her steadfast supporters. It was touching to see the Lighty family rally around both Liz and her brother Robbie, who has sickle cell disease (a blood disorder that disproportionately affects African Americans). And we love a main character who isn't afraid to take stand against antiquated traditions in her community. Fans of contemporary YA need to add this hilarious, heart-warming story to their TBRs!
