For me, this lived up to the hype that I’d heard about this.
Queenie is a modern flawed woman who I came to love through this audiobook (highly recommend listening as Tamara Lawrence is just FAB).She is going through everything from the breakdown of long-term relationships, a miscarriage, casual sex, systematic racism, workplace romances, childhood trauma and mental health issues and I just found her journey from beginning to end to inspiring.
I was truly gripped from start to finish and was rooting for Queenie like she was a real person!
