QueenieQueenie by Candice Carty-Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Candice Carty-Williams has created a highly lovable, reasonably flawed heroine in Queenie. On the surface, the plot's deceptively simple (a young twenty-something navigates the messy terrain of a devastating break-up), but ultimately the novel is a fabulous illustration of how race and mental wellness twist around individual and systemic realities. Queenie's friendships with other women are essential to her survival, but they also serve to show readers the many forms privilege can take. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
