Consider You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson. Recommended by 2 sources.
“This YA romance follows a Black queer teen determined to escape a prom-obsessed Midwestern town by winning a college scholarship. Voice is warm, candid, and often witty; the book's useful part is its blend of rom-com energy with honest attention to class, race, and ambition. Limitation: many emotional moments read broad and dialogue leans on familiar YA tropes, so readers wanting quieter depth or subtle characterization may find it surface-level. Best read for readers who want heart and social stakes more than slow realism.”
