Liz Lighty is wonderful. A delightful story about getting out of your shell and learning who you can rely on when you feel like you don't fit in in an Indiana town where everyone is obsessed with all things prom.

I would have liked to get to know some of the side characters and their stories more -- Liz's grandparents, Britt, Quinn, Emme -- but I'm also glad the story didn't get distracted from Liz and her perspective of the world. There's a lot she misses because she's focused on her problems, which is super realistic for a teenager dealing with some Big Stuff in her life!
