I really enjoyed this reading! The plot goes beyond a simple competition to become prom queen. I had a great deal of empathy for Liz, whose adventure is even harder because she is a queer girl of colour. It also made me aware of the difficulty for young Americans to continue higher education, especially because of the price to pay (we have much more financial help in France). It was the first time I read a contemporary, and I loved it! I loved the way it was read (audiobook), I really had the feeling Liz was sitting next to me to tell me her story. I think it's a perfect book for summer ☀️
