But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.<br \/>\nBut when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington.<br \/>\nThe only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-12-29T05:00:08+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is MY FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2020!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAs a whole, 2020 sucked.
