A sharply funny and moving debut novel about a queer Mexican American girl navigating Catholic school, while falling in love and learning to celebrate her true self. Perfect for fans of Erika L. Sánchez, Leah Johnson, and Gabby Rivera. Sixteen-year-old Yamilet Flores prefers to be known for her killer eyeliner, not for being one of the only Mexican kids at her new, mostly white, very rich Catholic school. But at least here no one knows she's gay, and Yami intends to keep it that way. After being outed by her crush and ex-best friend before transferring to Slayton Catholic, Yami has new priorities: keep her brother out of trouble, make her mom proud, and, most importantly, don't fall in love. Granted, she's never been great at any of those things, but that's a problem for Future Yami. 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 talented. And cute. So cute. Either way, Yami isn't going to make the same mistake again. If word got back to her mom, she could face a lot worse than rejection. So she'll have to start asking, WWSGD: What would a straight girl do? 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.

Der 16-jährigen Yamilet Flores wäre es lieber, für ihren tollen Eyeliner bekannt zu sein, als dafür, dass sie eines der einzigen mexikanischen Kinder an ihrer weißen, sehr reichen katholischen Schule ist. Aber wenigstens weiß hier niemand, dass sie queer ist, und Yami will, dass das auch so bleibt. Nachdem sie vor ihrem Wechsel auf die katholische Schule Slayton von ihrem heimlichen Schwarm und ehemaliger besten Freundin geoutet wurde , hat Yami neue Prioritäten: ihren Bruder aus Schwierigkeiten herauszuhalten , ihre Mutter stolz zu machen und, was am wichtigsten ist, sich nicht zu verlieben . Allerdings ist es schwer, so zu tun, als sei man hetero, wenn Bo, das einzige offen queere Mädchen an der Schule , so nervtötend perfekt ist. Und klug. Und begabt. Und süß . So süß. Wie auch immer ... Yami wird den gleichen Fehler nicht noch einmal machen. Oder doch?
