About this book
When highschool senior Imogen visits her newly out best friend Lili at college, she goes along with Lili's lie that they used to date, but as Imogen spends more time with Lili's friend Tessa, Imogen's facade of bisexuality transforms into a genuine exploration of her own sexual identity.
Censorship history
In 2024, "Imogen, Obviously" by Becky Albertalli was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to its LGBTQ+ content and sexual themes. Notably, the book faced challenges in states like Texas and Florida, where school boards voted to remove it from library shelves following complaints from parents and advocacy groups such as the Parents' Rights in Education organization. The bans were upheld in multiple districts, reflecting a growing trend of restricting access to literature that explores diverse sexual identities.
