Liz believes she is too black and too poor to be like the others who are rich and run for prom king or queen. The town she lives in has prejudices towards the lgbtq since you can’t go to prom as a date with the same sex and dance with them. When Liz’s financial aid falls through, she remembers that winning prom queen will give her a scholarship, so she runs for prom queens and starts to fall in love with a girl.
I thought the relationship was cute. The relationship with her family was great too and I always love seeing family dynamics in books. I enjoyed seeing Liz grow as she ran for prom queen. I did think somethings were way over dramatized in a high school setting.
