My thoughts, two months later.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

July 12, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

. . . which are not many. I’ve honestly been wanting to read one of Malinda Lo’s books for years now, but never got around to it. After having finally done so, now I’m not sure if I’ll be reading more . . . maybe the queer Cinderella retelling (Ash, I think?). This was well-written and I liked it, and the premise is well-thought out and a bunch of other complimentary things . . . but this was just a good read for me, not […]

Lily was struck by how duplicitous a song could be, as if multiple languages were hidden within the lyrics.

What struck me the most about Last Night at the Telegraph Club was how separate Lily Hu is from the world around her. She is a watcher. She pays attention to the details of what happens around her as she tries to understand who she is in relation to the world. Only when she is with Kath do the details become fuzzy and she fully engages. Towards the end of the book, I thought a lot about a conversation I had with my mother when […]

It is also the story of two young women falling in love during their senior year of high school […]
