A brilliant modern story, Queenie shows us the full messiness of her life as a British Jamaican 20-something trying to find her way in the world and move forward post relationship break up. Alternately cringeworthy and laugh out loud funny, it’s not just a story about family, friendships, and modern dating that reminds you a bit of Bridget Jones. It also tackles the complications of determining what does your culture and race mean to you in a white world, especially in situations such as explaining to your white co-workers why The Black Lives Matter movement is still relevant and important. As Queenie’s mental health unravels and she makes questionable choices regarding her dating life, we begin learning how the experiences of her past are influencing her perceptions of self worth and the destructive choices she is making. Ultimately, this story shows it is possible, with some help, to pick yourself up after you tumble and fall.
