Description

Leah Johnson's You Should See Me in a Crown
A happy queer love story about belonging, bravery, and being seen


Leah Johnson's You Should See Me in a Crown is a touching and inspirational young adult novel about Liz Lighty, a Black LGBT student who never believed she would run for prom queen until it became her only chance to win a college scholarship.  The story that follows is brilliantly written and takes place in a Midwestern high school that is concerned with tradition. It is about identity, ambition, friendship, and first love.

Johnson's first book is funny, sweet, and emotionally honest. It honors people who feel ignored and reminds readers that they deserve to take up space and earn crowns.

Book Bundle: This is a great choice for fans of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Dumplin', and The Sun Is Also a Star. It's also great for people who want inclusive, feel-good fiction with real emotional stakes.

You Have to Read Why You Should See Me in a Crown:

A happy LGBT Black protagonist in the middle of everything is a groundbreaking representation.

A new look at the high school rom-com that is sharp, funny, and uplifting.

Belonging themes deal with race, class, identity, and family pressure.

Stonewall Honor Book and Reese's YA Book Club Pick.

A quote from the novel that sticks with me is, "I'm not some girl in a fantasy."  I'm real. "And I deserve to be seen."

Translation (Sinhala): "I am not a woman in a dream."  I am real.  "මට දැකිය යුතුයි."

Translation (Tamil): "நான் ஒரு கற்பனை உலகத்தின் பெண் இல்லை.  I am real. "என்னையும் காண வேண்டியதே."
