Didn't You Use to Be Queenie B? by Terri-Lynne DeFino
5.0

Thank you William Morrow and NetGalley for the DRC of Didn't You Used to Be Queenie B? All opinions in this review are my own.

After three books, it is safe to say that Terri-Lynne DeFino is one of my favorite authors! Her strength is creating realistic characters who you can't help but root for and Didn't You Used To Be Queenie B? is no exception. The emotional journey that Regina and Gale take is a rollercoaster but it is worth it! I like that the novel doesn't follow a pattern for switching between timelines. It only does it when it is needed which makes the flashbacks more impactful. I also really like the cooking terms at the beginning of each chapter. Once again, this is another hit for DeFino!
