So many things resonated with me while reading Queenie.
25 year old Queenie lives with her boyfriend Tom in London. Queenie is Jamaican. Tom is White. They're not in the best place in their relationship. Tom wants to take a break.
Queenie, not realizing by "break" he means breakup. She's still hopeful.
Queenie is not just about a relationship on the outs.
It's about being a Black woman, dating, sex, class, culture, friendship, childhood trauma and navigating through life after it.
Queenie is a character that you are going to root for. She deserves so much better than she thinks she does. You are also going to get frustrated with her.
There is so much more that I would love to say. But, I read this all in on sitting and would definitely recommend.
