4.5. Had to push myself to read this and stopped a few times to reflect. I appreciate the author creating a character with FLAWS. Queenie is a hot mess, isn’t perfect by any means, annoyingly frustrating but R.E.AL!!! I found my self as an educated Black woman represented through the pages and it hurt, angered me, annoyed me. I’ve been there. Some of my issues with the book itself have to deal with the Black Lives Matter and how it appeared Queenie supported it out of obligation but appreciated the show of micro aggression experienced in the work place. Some aspects could have been written better but all in all at the end of the story my thought was well damn, I feel vulnerable after reading this.
