Liz Lighty has always felt she doesn't belong in her small, wealthy, prom-obsessed midwestern town because she is too black, too poor, and too uncomfortable. But Liz is not giving up; she has a plan to leave Campbell, Indiana, forever: she will enroll in the prestigious Pennington College, play in their renowned orchestra, and pursue a career in medicine.
Liz's preparations come crashing down, though, when the financial aid she was banking on unexpectedly evaporates. That is, until she remembers that her school offers a scholarship for prom king and queen. Even though Liz has a terrible dread of being in the spotlight, she will stop at nothing to get to Pennington, even putting up with a slew of cruel rivals, nasty social media trolls, and embarrassing public events.
Mack, the new student in the school, is the one thing that makes life acceptable to some extent. Like Liz, she is humorous, intelligent, and a bit of an outsider. However, Mack is a contender for queen as well. Will Liz's aspirations come true or be dashed by falling for the competition?
