"Do you hear me? Everyone knows you're a good Chinese girl. This is just a mistake."For Lily Hu, "good Chinese girl" feels like a mask she's only recently discovered she's been wearing. Or worse, like a trap--one that finally sprung the night she walked through the door into the Telegraph Club with Kathleen Miller. She's known Kath since they were first in math together in junior high. Now they're the last two senior girls in advanced math, and Lily can't deny that what she feels with Kath is about much more than calculus. For most people, the Telegraph Club is only another dingy lesbian nightclub just beyond the border of Chinatown, but for Lily and Kath it might as well be another planet.Balancing her family's need to present an ideal American facade with her unmistakeable desire for Kath would never be easy, but with deportation suddenly looming over her her Chinese-born father--despite his hard-won citizenship--Lily's awakening to her true self seems doomed to be short-lived.

Important LGBTQIA history. The lesbian bar scene that flourished on the edges of Chinatown is an important part of the city's queer-friendly identity. This book illuminates the intersection of that community and Chinese-American culture as never before.
Nuanced depiction of Chinese-American history. The Hu family represents an American experience not shown in YA and sheds light on the lives of Chinese-Americans at pivotal American moments like WWII, the Space Race, and the Red Scare.
Beloved author. Malinda Lo is a fixture of YA, both as an outspoken woman of color and a lesbian. Her fans are many; her author peers from Leigh Bardugo to Libba Bray love her; and queer YA writers of the generation that followed her now cite her as their inspiration.
A personal book. Last Night at the Telegraph Club is Lo's most personal book, and it shows in the writing. She draws not only on years of research but on family history to create the Hu family and 1950s San Francisco Chinatown. An extensive author's note will give fans a satisfying glimpse into the research and Lo's connection to the story.
