Lo is a writer I've had my eye on for quite a few years. "Last Night at the Telegraph Club" feels like a culmination. I'm a sucker for queer history so I found joy in the way she padded out 50's San Francisco, particularly its Chinatown as that's where the book mainly takes place. Lily as a character feels slightly bland, more of a vessel for the story instead of a driver of it. Still, in some moments she was strikingly bold. Kath, Shirley, Tommy, and other characters did have life to them that I appreciated. Kath and Lily's romance was earnest and sweet and the epilogue was hopeful in a way a lot of queer romances of the time were not. I think this book is a little young for me but Lo did a bang-up job and I hope it resonates with LGBT+ teens today and cultivates an appreciation for our siblings of yesteryear.
