About the Book
Queer Love. Something Dawn wants, desperately, but does not have. But maybe, if she can capture it, film it, interview the people who have it, queer love will be hers someday. Or, at least, she'll have made a documentary about it. A documentary that, hopefully, will win Dawn a scholarship to film school. Many obstacles stand in the way of completing her film, but her best friends Edie and Georgia are there to help her reach her goal, no matter what it takes.
A touching and joyous story of queer friendship and girlhood set in the vibrant city of Houston, THE QUEER GIRL IS GOING TO BE OKAY will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you believe that eventually, everything will be okay.
My Thoughts
Man, this was such an emotional read. To read what each character had to deal with was so emotional and heartbreaking. I felt bad many time for all of the three main characters and what they had to go through. The book also showcased the power of having a good friendship with others, the type that will be there for you when you can't be there for yourself and ones that won't let you completely quit, no matter how hard situations might be. I hope the author features these characters in a future book. I would love to see what happens for them next.
