'Queer delight through and through' - Leah Johnson author of You Should See Me in a Crown A
teen girl navigates friendship drama the end of high school and discovering her queerness in
Ophelia After All the hilarious and heartfelt contemporary YA debut by Racquel Marie.
Ophelia Rojas knows what she likes: her best friends Cuban food rose-gardening and boys -
way too many boys. Her friends and parents make fun of her endless stream of crushes but
Ophelia is a romantic at heart. She couldn't change even if she wanted to. So when she finds
herself thinking more about cute quiet Talia Sanchez than the loss of a perfect prom with her
ex-boyfriend seeds of doubt take root in Ophelia's firm image of herself. Add to that the
impending end of high school and the fracturing of her once-solid friend group and things are
spiraling a little out of control. But the course of love - and sexuality - never did run
smooth. As her secrets begin to unravel Ophelia must make a choice between clinging to the
fantasy version of herself she's always imagined or upending everyone's expectations to
rediscover who she really is after all.
