Did you love prom? Hate it? Did you go? Were you on prom court? While talking about the book You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson, we reminisce on Midwestern childhoods, the absence of promposals in our millenial high school years, band and show choir, and utterly ridiculous prom stories of our own. This book is a fun and important addition to YA lit, as it features a black queer girl and her experience in a mostly white upper class suburb.
