I can definitely understand why this book is described as Bridget Jones + Americanah, but it took me a long time to catch on to the idea that, unlike Bridget Jones, Queenie's life won't be resolved by a man.

I liked this book a whole lot. It includes a lot of "here and now" slang and cultural issues that will forever place this in the mid-2010s, but I think it is important for society to have a body of work that addresses our current conversation topics head-on.

Also, the audiobook narration was great. The various accents really added to the experience of the story. And there was an added touch: when characters were texting, there were send and vibration sound effects.
