Description
Â
A stunning novel about being brave enough to be true to yourself, and learning to find joy even when times are unimaginably dark.
Three days.
Two girls.
One life-changing music festival.
Toni is grieving the loss of her roadie father and needing to figure out where her life will go from here – and she’s desperate to get back to loving music. Olivia is a hopeless romantic whose heart has just taken a beating (again) and is beginning to feel like she’ll always be a square peg in a round hole – but the Farmland Music and Arts Festival is a chance to find a place where she fits.
The two collide and it feels like something like kismet when a bond begins to form. But when something goes wrong and the festival is sent into a panic, Olivia and Toni will find that they need each other (and music) more than they ever imagined.
- A joyous, Black girl rom-com about finding love and being true to yourself
- Explores the power of communal joy to bring people together, even in the most uncertain of times
- Leah Johnson’s You Should See Me in a Crown was the very first YA pick for Reese Witherspoon’s book club: ‘[A]Â super funny, joyful story that’ll have you reliving your high school prom days!’
