Waterstones Says

Smart, sassy and addressing issues of race, class and sexuality with a freshness and lightness of touch, Johnson’s sparkling rom com finds black teen Liz forced to run for prom queen in her very white neighbourhood.  

 

The very first book pick for Reese Witherspoon’s

YA Book Club!

‘[A] super funny, joyful story that’ll

have you reliving your high school prom days!’ –

Reese’s YA Book Club.

Liz has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward

to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed town. But

Liz has an escape plan to attend an uber-elite college, play in

their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.

But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls

through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded

of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen.

There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of

social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events,

but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing

to do whatever it takes to get to college.

The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl

in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider

as Liz.

But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the

competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?

Becky Albertalli meets Jenny Han in a smart, hilarious,

black girl magic, own voices rom-com by fantastic debut talent,

Leah Johnson.
