The audiobook is just over 7 hours long and I binged it over two sittings. If you’re looking for a quick contemporary with a fantastic Black main character and f/f romance, then You Should See Me in a Crown is the one for you. It was the perfect mix of cute and fluffy, with some more serious themes of anxiety, chronic illness and homophobia. You Should See Me in a Crown brought me so much joy and delight in the few short hours that it took me to listen to the audiobook. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams. But Mack is also in the running for queen.

She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. 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 Pennington. until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. But it's okay - Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.īut when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down. Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town.
