"Companion to Last night at the Telegraph Club" -- jacket
The summer of 2013 in the Bay is a momentous one for eighteen-year-old Aria Tang West, for the working-class queer community she finds herself in, and for her artist grandmother.
Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends--one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria's parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother's gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable--for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It's the kind of summer that changes a life forever.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A solid coming of age story submitted by majean on June 16, 2023, 12:18am I did enjoy this story, but at times it moved too slowly for me. The main characters from Lo's novel Last Night At The Telegraph Club are mentioned, so you get to find out what happened to them. But mostly, it's Aria's discovery of her sexuality and inner artist.

Great! submitted by Xris on July 25, 2023, 12:09am Wow. So many feels in this book. Made me cry toward the end. Great story about a girl who figures out she's not straight, when in CA for the summer with her grandmother. I also appreciate the arts and sciences in the book.
Great author who I will continue to read!
