Queenie is the story of a British-Jamaican young adult who struggles with her mental health and with life choices while dealing with racism and sexual abuse. Everything in her life seems to be falling apart, and her self-destructive habits aren’t helping. She finds help and hope through counseling and the support of her friends and family.
Queenie was candid and humorous at some points and cringey and infuriating at others. There are so many challenges we have to face in life that can really bring us down, and I can’t even imagine having to deal with the added pain of racism. The writing flowed easily and it was a quick read. This book challenges to try to see things from different perspectives and to understand the struggles of others.
