It doesn’t take much for a book to make me cry, ESPECIALLY if it has strong sibling ties, but this one has be tearing up again and again and again. One of the best YA books I’ve ever read.

The opening half of this book was pretty slow, but by the end, I was so glad I had kept reading. Most of the ending chapters made me tear up... it was just really sweet and hopeful and made my heart happy.

Liz enters into her school's prom queen competition in order to have a shot at a scholarship. Along the way, she deals with the ups and downs of friendship, racism, homophobia, classism, and the nuances of dating. I've never been a huge fan of the pagent trope, but it wasn't overdone and I really enjoyed this read (though the audio narator pronounced manga as may-n-ga) . The characters were compelling and the story was a lot of fun. I felt genuinly angry when bullies and friends pulled stupid stunts on Liz, and appreciated the glimpses we got into Liz's self reflectiomy.
