Title: You Should See Me in a Crown
Author: Leah Johnson
Narrator: Alaska Jackson
Audio Length: 7hr 18min
Rating: 4/5
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small,
rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever
Thoughts:
Prim in a rich conservative white town seems complicated enough to maneuver. Add in our musically
talented main character Liz who is lower class and Black, that just adds to the complications.
I`m not much of a contemporary reader but the discussion of LGBTQ+ struggles in a small town
community was eye-opening. I appreciated the rawness of Liz.
TTFN,
Ashley
