Such an incredible read. I loved Queenie from the very first moments. A girl with boy troubles just like my own but interwoven into a deep and critical analysis of how race is still perceived in London. Once again my love of reading as been awoken and I’m so happy it was Candice’s novel that did it.
And it’s SO funny! Laugh out loud on the plane kind of funny. The kind of funny that when my dad asked what got me giggling I could only refer him to the page where Queenie is met with a p*n*s that has been nicknamed “The Destroyer”
Candice has captured a world that I’m all too familiar with and at the same time one that has lent me an understanding of race and the disparity black women are faced with to a level I didn’t expect.
I am better for having read this book <3
