Reviews with content warning for Outing - You Should See Me in a Crown

There are a lot of pop culture references, which aren’t for me personally but it’s not too distracting. The story overall is really cute and nice, even though it does deal with some heavier topics. But for a book that’s about gay people, i wish the homophobie weren’t so swept under the rug. If you’re going to bring it up actually go into it instead of just a casual mention

and a suprisingly friendly town.

Audiobook - 4 hours 9 minutes - I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting you to. Liz was a likeable main character, and the rest of the characters were also likeable and realistic. While it played into a few overused tropes, it didn't feel like a carbon copy of a queer YA book like some do. The whole prom thing was a little over the top, but then again, most things about very real American high schools feel fake to me so maybe that's why. The conflicts between characters also felt realistic enough. I also liked the depiction of friendship in this book, the way it can be sort of toxic without it being because the friend is just overly cruel for no reason. Overall a good queer YA book.
