āA book that sneaks up on you...I am hooked.ā āRoxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author
This acclaimed and āwelcome debut from a seriously talented authorā (New York Post) is a disarmingly honest, unapologetically black, and undeniably witty novel that will speak to those who have gone looking for love and found something very different in its place.
Queenie Jenkins is a twenty-five-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where sheās constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong placesā¦including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth.
As Queenie careens from one questionable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, āWhat are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be?āāall of the questions todayās woman must face in a world trying to answer them for her.
āA must-read novel about sex, selfhood, and the best friendships that get us through it allā (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author), Queenie is a remarkably relatable exploration of what it means to be a modern woman searching for meaning in todayās world.
