Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a perfect romantic, gripping and vivid piece of historical fiction. I loved pretty much everything about this book, especially all of the intersections of Lily's identity and the historical climate that it explored, from her experience as a Chinese-American woman to the lesbian bar scene of the 50s to women in STEM at the time. I also loved Lily and Kath's romance, and I really enjoyed watching Lily's exploration of the lesbian nightlife scene and her own identity through the setting of the Telegraph club. Last Night at the Telegraph Club is definitely a new favourite of mine, and I'd highly recommend it!
