National Book Award Finalist * William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist * Goodreads Finalist for Best Teen Book of the Year * Walter Honor Award Winner * Pura Belpré Honor Book * Lambda Literary Award Winner for LGBTQ+ Young AdultA 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.

Yamilet Flores ha sedici anni, vive con la madre e il fratello dopo che il padre è stato deportato in Messico, e preferisce essere notata dai suoi nuovi compagni più per la linea impeccabile del suo eyeliner che per il fatto di essere una delle pochissime ragazze messicane della scuola. Una scuola cattolica quasi interamente frequentata da ragazzi bianchi molto, molto ricchi. Qui nessuno sa che Yami è gay (né lei ha intenzione di dirlo ad anima viva), cosa non da poco, visto che la ragione per cui se ne è andata dalla vecchia scuola è che la sua ex migliore amica (nonché la ragazza per cui si era presa una cotta), dopo averla rifiutata, ha raccontato tutto ad alcune compagne e poi ha rotto ogni rapporto con lei. Yamilet ora si è data nuove priorità: tenere suo fratello Cesar fuori dai guai, rendere orgogliosa la mamma e, più difficile di tutto, fingersi eterosessuale. L'impresa si rivela subito complicata quando Yami incontra Bo, l'unica ragazza della nuova scuola dichiaratamente omosessuale che, oltre a essere intelligente e piena di talento, è anche molto carina. Pazzescamente carina. A ogni modo, per Yami è chiaro, non può innamorarsi e rischiare così che la madre scopra la sua omosessualità. Non potrebbe sopportare di perdere anche lei... Raccontata da una voce accattivante, di volta in volta ironica, vulnerabile e smaccatamente onesta, "Guida per lesbiche alla scuola cattolica" esplora le gioie e le difficoltà che comporta vivere nel rispetto di ciò che si è nel profondo.
