However, as much as I loved the story…this clearly wasn’t a totally perfect read for me. It’s a wonderful story filled with love, acceptance, and being true to your authentic self. Would I recommend this book? ALL DAY LONG. So….that’s quite the mixed review, huh? Bottom Line I loved it! It was deep and beautiful and tragic and heartwarming and happy and sad and wonderful. I’m VERY fortunate that I absolutely loved my high school experience! I can’t help but feel sad when authors make high schools sound like war zones with everyone out to get everyone else all the time.Īnd I’ll just say it. And yes, I understand to many that is exactly how high school feels…but…it would be so nice to read a YA book where high school is portrayed in a positive light. I love YA books but I don’t love when authors make high schools sound like absolute battlegrounds. I also wasn’t a big fan of the MULTIPLE hugely dramatic VERY public scenes where Liz found herself smack in the center. It was even mentioned IN THE BOOK that when drawing these lines, that the lines aren’t so straight….and yet….so many cliches throughout this entire book completely disputed that statement. While I DO agree that every high school has these types of people, their cliched personas aren’t quite as drawn as this book tells. What I DIDN’T love were all of the overly cliched high school personas. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I loved it. Her journey to live life as her true self is filled with determination, drive, and so much more. Liz is such a lovable, wonderful character with a heartbreaking family history.
Reading in front of the electric fireplace in our cottage. Goodreads Synopsis of You Should See Me In A Crown : My husband drove to pick up our favorite breakfast and I slowly sipped coffee, read my book, and cuddled my kids in bed while we waited for him to return. One of the best mornings of our trip was when we had a lazy morning. Having heard GREAT things about this book, I was excited to read and review it! I started reading Leah Johnson’s You Should See Me In A Crown while on our most recent trip to Michigan (you can read about our previous trips HERE and HERE).
