3.5
Candice Carty-Williams writes an incredibly flawed, human person and Queenie does all the things I think people easily do when they are unwell (mentally, physically etc.) š„² The āstrong black womanā idea was very strongly placed in the story as well, although we learned to navigate it when Janet came around.
I loved Darcy and Kyazike throughout the story.
I am giving it a 3.5 out of 5 stars as although many issues were covered, some of them did not go into depth and some of the time, I felt the book went a bit flat. In saying all this though, I LOVE Queenieās ending and was happy to see her enjoying her family and friendsā company š„°
Enjoy āØ Thank you!

Heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time, especially if you've experienced any similar situations. Queenie felt like a best friend at a difficult time.
