Publisher's summary

It's college acceptance season at Alsbury High School. For aspiring filmmaker Dawn Salcedo, spring brings more than the usual obstacles—she’s her ill father's only caregiver, the final deadline for the Austin Film Festival is looming (with a full ride to college on the line), and her documentary about queer love, a subject she’s desperate to get a firmer grasp on, is still missing its finishing pieces.

Thankfully, she has two great best friends to help her to the finish line (is it still a GBF if they’re all gay?)—Edie, the resident mom friend with valedictorian status, who must navigate her deeply religious family while having a nonbinary partner she doesn’t want them to meet, and Georgia, a poet with her educational future in doubt, who is dealing with her mom's questionable new boyfriend.

Debut author Dale Walls serves up an intimate and joyous story of queer friendship and girlhood set in the vibrant city of Houston, perfect for fans of Leah Johnson and Sonora Reyes. The Queer Girl Is Going to Be Okay will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you believe that eventually, everything really will be okay.

Beautifully Written Story of Friendship

This novel and audiobook narration did all the things I wanted it to do! Centered around love, friendship, and queerness, this is a great book for audiences young and not so young. Walls highlights the realities of growing up queer in the South and the friendship that carries each of the trio of characters through. This book is also great for allies to better understand the nuanced experience of being part of the lgbtq+ community. Tens across the board. I can’t wait to see what else Walls has brewing for us to enjoy.

The friendships of the main characters. How they cared and showed love for each other.

I like the friendship of the young people. How they looked out for each other. I was thrilled when they finished the movie with the help of Collin to get it in on time. I especially liked when her friends showed up with the dress for the event that had been returned. Just a beautiful store of love, respect, appreciation, and friendship.
