Sonora Reyes is an American YA author whose novels center queer Latinx teenagers. The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School (2022), her debut, follows a bisexual Mexican American girl navigating a new Catholic school. The Luis Ortega Survival Club (2023) is about an undocumented teen. The Broposal (2025) is a YA rom-com.
The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School was a Pura Belpre Honor Book and received praise for its honest voice. The protagonist, Yamilet, transfers to a Catholic school after being outed at her old one and struggles with her faith, her family, and a new crush. The Luis Ortega Survival Club tackles heavier ground, following a teen who lacks legal immigration status.
The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar (2025) is a companion novel set in the same world as The Lesbiana’s Guide. The Broposal (2025) marks a lighter shift into romantic comedy. Reyes is from Arizona and writes from her own experience as a queer Latina. Her books have been recognized for giving visibility to stories that are underrepresented in YA fiction.
