Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She's never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She's never even been kissed. And it's not just because she's gay. It's because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren't for kids like them. They're for cool kids. Straight kids. But then Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy in the dark, and an unexpected friendship is formed. In return for never talking about that kiss, Ricky takes Codi under his wing and draws her into a wild summer filled with late nights, new experiences, and one really cute girl named Lydia. The only problem? Codi never tells Maritza or JaKory about any of it. From author Kelly Quindlen comes a poignant and deeply relatable story about friendship, self-acceptance, what it means to be a Real Teenager. Late to the Party is an ode to late bloomers and wallflowers everywher… (més)

Late to the Party is a YA novel that reads as though it were truly written /for/ teens. The main character and narrator is a queer high school senior who, through an unexpected encounter, finds herself friends with a popular boy down the road. He's lived the life she thinks she's supposed to live - a life of parties and friends and dating. Of course nothing is as good as it seems and Codi ends up leaving her best friends behind as she explores.
Late to the Party will appeal to quiet teens who don't live "the life of the American teen" and might be working through their own identities on their way toward adulthood.

Late to the Party is a totally readable, enjoyable book.

Codi feels stifled by her two friends, Maritza and JaKory. They've been friends since elementary school and hang out often together. They are all searching for romance yet none of them has had a date or kissed anyone. She feels bound by what her friends think of who she is and she's dying to break free, fall in love and kiss a girl. Maritza is attracted to both sexes and JaKory wants a boyfriend.

Maritza and JaKory decide to go to an end of school party but shy Codi declines. When Maritza calls to say she's too drunk to drive and asks Codi to pick her up, little did Codi realize that that simple request would change her life...because walking through the party she meets beautiful Lydia and says a few words to her. Stepping into that party changed her summer and her life.

Late to the Party is all about stepping outside your boundaries and growing. It is a fast, fun read, with good characters and a good, realistic plot. ( )

This book is everything I wanted. I cried, I laughed, I was worried for the main character. I don't know... It's just so special to me. It made me think about love, friendship and life. It made me feel seen. Definitely, one of the best contemporaries I've ever read. ( )

While all adolescent bildungsroman are about the struggle to grow, this book is kind of unique in that it is about that struggle directly, with no metaphors, subterfuge, or red herrings. Personal growth is the main conflict of the story and the heroine's direct goal. I found that very refreshing! Coupled with that were varied and well-realized characters; realistic, complicated friendships; and great descriptions of the urgent, anxious, and tender feelings of first romances. The main character is a lesbian, and her best friends are gay and bi, and this is also an unusual and delightful story because none of them experience homophobia—instead, these YA characters have concerns about whether their crushes feel the same way (just like straight people!) and whether they will be accepted and loved by their communities for their full, multifaceted selves (also just like straight people!). It meant more to me than I realized it would, that this exists. ( )
