⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I loved this book- I had read reviews comparing it to Bridget Jones and whilst Queenie does have some struggles with her relationships and finding love-this book delves so much deeper than Bridget Jones ever did imo. It deals with racism, bigotry and Queenie's search to find how to love and accept herself and how she can complete herself instead of looking for love in all the wrong people. It has humourous parts and I loved her friends (the Corgis) and her family. This book also has confronting and thought provoking parts- Queenie dealing with her own low self worth and the sexual encounters she has during her journey are very real and quite confronting in parts. A great read. #queenie #candicecarty-williams  #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads  #bookstagram #bookqueen #amazonkindle #litsy #scribd #borrowbox #thestorygraph
