The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School

By: Sonora Reyes

Narrated by: Karla Serrato

Yami prefers to be known for her killer eyeliner, not for being one of the only Mexican kids at her new, mostly white, rich Catholic school - or for being gay. So after being outed by her ex-best friend, before transferring to Slayton Catholic, Yami decides to lie low, make her mum proud and definitely NOT fall in love. The thing is, it's hard to fake being straight when Bo, the only openly queer girl at school, is so annoyingly perfect. And smart. And cute. So cute.Told in a captivating voice that is by turns hilarious, vulnerable, and searingly honest, The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School explores the joys and heartaches of living your full truth out loud.'Sonora's voice is one to watch!'

Critic reviews

"Sonora's voice is one to watch!" (Julie Murphy, number one New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin)

Well written. Touches on relevant cultural, religious, and familial themes.

There was nothing to dislike. The author did a remarkable job of expressing what she wanted to express.

This beautiful book was narrated perfectly with distinct voices for each character. It was hard to listen to at times when it hit too close to home. Several scenes brought back memories. What is so amazing is it wasn't just the protagonist's story that took me back in time, but nearly all of the subsidiary characters were also so familiar. Not gonna lie, a couple of times I had to reach for a tissue, but it was worth it. Sometimes you have to go through the brambles to get to the picnic. Closeted people of any age will be able to relate to this book--if they're able to peek out of the closet long enough to order it and listen to it. But out LGBTQ people and straight people will get just as much out of it. I will listen to this one again, I'm sure. BUY THIS BOOK!
