I loved this prom story! Liz is a well-rounded character and very relatable. The depiction of small-town life is also spot on, sometimes painfully. And, our prom theme was also Midnight in Paris. XD Guess it's popular! The Campbell Confidential app sounds like my worst nightmare though. High school is full of enough humiliations without them going viral.
The exploration of Liz's various relationships was great. Every time she connected more with a certain someone, I got happy butterflies. The Lighty's are a family that would do anything to take care of their own. And Jordan! Absolutely loved him.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about a band geek shattering barriers and carving a place for herself. Lighty Strong!

4 stars only because it is written for teen readers and I find myself shifting away from high school drama more and more.
