Queenie is the debut novel of Candice Carty-Williams. Queenie talks about the experiences of a woman, named Queenie, from dealing with a hard time in her relationship to eventually going to therapy and the stigma of mental health in the black community.
10/10- Queenie is an amazing novel, it is funny and in some ways relatable. The book also sheds light on the black lives matter movement and what it is like to be a black woman in a light-hearted easy to understand way. The book is also unique in the way that text messages break up chapters, I have not often seen this in books and found it a really good way to keep the chapter going in a modern way. You also sympathise with Queenie as her life begins to 'fall apart', as well as root for her. I think this book is best suited to those in their twenties just discovering the world as an adult.
