The Girls Will Be Okay is a nerdy, interfaith queer YA romance about a bisexual Lutheran girl coming to terms with her sexuality and her crush on her lesbian Jewish best friend by writing fanfiction about their favorite detective show.
Seventeen-year-old Solveig has life figured out. She's mostly recovered from her mother's death three years ago, she's an excellent student, she loves her Lutheran church and family, and she's a straight ally of the queer community--or so she thinks. She and her two best friends, Sarah and Heidi, are even in the same fandom for the first time in years. Senior spring is shaping up to be a wonderful last hurrah, never mind her tension with her middle sister, Berit.
But then Solveig realizes she has a crush on Sarah.
When Solveig's obsession with and fear of her own feelings blow up both of her close friendships, her family--including Berit, who's harboring a queer crush of her own-is the only place Solveig has left to turn. Can Solveig grow up enough to salvage her final semester of high school, or will she stay stuck in the rigid place she's been since her mother died?
