Journalist Queenie is about to turn 26 and her boyfriend, Tom, has suggested they take a break from their relationship. Trying to find solace in meaningless encounters with men, she soon finds herself in trouble at work, living with her strict Jamaican grandparents and in therapy.
Set in London, this book has been likened to Bridget Jones’s Diary but Queenie faces much darker challenges than our bumbling Bridget. It’s a memorable story which allows you to view the world of dating, friendship, anxiety and racism through the eyes of one complicated twenty-something.
