The Queer Girl Is Going to Be Okay is a YA contemporary novel that’s full of love—queer love! It’s about three high school friends: Georgia, who is dealing with her mother’s questionable new boyfriend, Edie, who struggles with hiding her queer identity and her nonbinary partner from her religious family, and Dawn, who is entering her documentary about queer love into a competition to win a scholarship to film school.
The audio version was perfect for this; it made the quotes from Dawn’s documentary sound like real documentary interview snippets. The narrator was great at giving every character a unique and fitting voice.
The book is fast paced and fun, while also dealing with some heavy topics in an ultimately hopeful way. What I loved most is that, though romance is a big part of it, the queer love that’s at the heart of this story is the friendship between the three main characters.
