"That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other." And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.
America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father-despite his hard-won citizenship-Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

Intensely romantic. Lily and Kath's love story has a slow and satisfying burn. Lo masterfully captures their relationship developing in dozens of exquisite stolen moments.
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.
