The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School was a fun and quick read that also had its darker moments. It explored topics such as racism, homophobia, religious hypocrisy, mental illness and reconnecting with culture quite well. The characters were distinct and likeable and the writing light and easy to get into.

What I loved most about this book was the relationships between the characters. I thought the sibling/family dynamic was well developed and the romance didn't feel rushed or forced. The friendship group felt realistic and I appreciated how caring they all were ( though I do wish we got to see more of their characters). It was really refreshing to see supportive parents. Rick and Emma were fun and I loved the development of Yamilet's mum which admittedly made me a bit teary eyed. The representation in this book was amazing and the chapter titles were also *chefs kiss*. 

I wish some of the important and emotional segments weren't as quickly wrapped up. I thought that the pacing felt a bit off wherein the first half was quite slow and then way too fast at the end expecially with the topics which arose at that point. I also think that some parts felt very disjointed where it jumped from scene to scene and didn't have much of a flow. In some regard, you also had to suspend your disbelief for certain scenes but this definitely didn't hinder my enjoyment of the book. 

Overall, I really liked this one, it was light and humourous but talked about some dark topics as well. It was just a great book about self discovery, acceptance, pride and love. There's a lot to enjoy about this book and I think it's a good addition to the many wonderful LGBTQIA+ Ya novels we already have.
