Last Night at the Telegraph Club
by Malinda Lo
Really enjoyed this one! Lo does a great job of introducing you to the culture of 50s Chinatown in San Francisco as well as the culture of underground queer clubs in a way that you can absolutely understand what's happening and what things are big deals, while not dragging the book down with long infodumps. It's a tough balance! And Lily and Kath are an adorable couple to root for.
Mild spoiler:
I appreciate also that this conveys the serious societal risks LGBTQ+ folks faced in the 50s while also showing the potential for happy endings
