Queenie is a brilliant novel about a young woman unraveling and trying to get back on course.
Queenie can be a difficult book. There are several pieces that are purposely uncomfortable and verge on just wrong. That’s the point. It’s a story about a young woman who is dealing with racism on the job, in the community and in her relationship. It will make you furious.
It’s also the story of someone who is going through grief over the end of a relationship and many of us have been there. It makes it absolutely devastating to read. Queenie is relatable even if you’ve never faced the same things.
Queenie was one of the best books I read in 2019. The reader understands that Queenie needs help which makes all the drama of the book feel much bigger. It’s a sad book that is somehow also funny. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry and then you’ll tell all your friends to read it.
