Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams

4.0

A fantastic book. A great insight into the stereotypes and issues that are perpetually thrust upon black women, set against the backdrop of modern London. Lovingly relatable as a character, her every interaction with a white male drips with the weird and harmful social opinions on black bodies. Skin crawling sexism and racism, yet Queenie is beloved. The story is a wonderful and encouraging read.
