Queenie is 25 and lives in England. Her and her boyfriend Tom have been together for 3 years, but he wants to take a break. Queenie moves out and misses Tom a lot and believes that the timeline Tom gave her for them to get back together will come true. Due to this break, Queenie starts to spiral out of control. She is having a harder time with work and is sleeping with any man that gives her attention.
Queenie explores Blacks Lives Matter, culture, mental illness, breakups, and friendship.
It took me two days to read Queenie and I wouldn’t say it is a light read. There is a lot of humor in it for sure, but there are some heavy topics addressed in this book. I did dock a star because I felt like once I was halfway through it dragged for a bit. Other than that Queenie was very enjoyable. I loved seeing the culture of Queenie’s family, her friendships, and I loved the humor in the book.
