The Queer Girl is Going to be Okay follows three queer girls, Dawn, Edie and Georgia. They each have their own set of issues and challenges, but they have each other throughout that.
~
To me, I see it as a story of queerness, of friendship and solidarity. It tells a story of bad things happening and undesirable situations but these friends sticking by each other through it and supporting each other regardless of what they have going on for themself personally too.

I requested this book partly because of the cover (it's so pretty, don't judge me). But I also picked it because of the description listed. I try to read as much queer fiction as I can, because those stories deserve to be told, deserve to be shared, and people deserve to be able to see themself reflected in fiction.
~
While I personally can't see myself in this book, being white, I recognise that these situations aren't limited to that community. The situations and occurrences are unfortunately fairly universal, and regardless of race or gender, I think a lot of people will find something they can relate to in this book.
