''We Were Promised Spotlights'' is a fairly trope-heavy [[YoungAdultLiterature young adult novel]] by Lindsay Sproul. The novel presents a subversive take on the [[AlphaBitch mean girl]] archetype, with Taylor Garland, a popular teenage girl, as its main character. Taylor is a [[HeadTurningBeauty head-turning beauty]], and starts the story as homecoming queen with the rest of her senior year ready to go. The story is set in the 1990s and in some ways follows the beats of a classic [[ComingOfAgeStory coming-of-age story]]: [[HighSchoolDance prom,]] [[PuppyLove young love,]] and [[RidingIntoTheSunset the implications of the future.]]
