4.5* A gorgeous book with a gorgeous cover. I absolutely adore Queenie as I main character, I love how she's flawed and how she can make mistakes. This book was also really funny, i loved seeing Queenie's awkward reaction to all the strange things people said, and I loved the use of the texts in the book. I loveddd the friendship group and the family. Just so stunning. But I do think it dragged a LOT in the last 100 pages. like it was a whole chunk about her going to therapy and finding out why she is the way she is. I think it would work better if it blended in more with the rest of the book instead of putting it all at the end

Content warning if you are thinking about reading this books, there is a lot of sex and its VERY graphic.

I have absolutely loved Queenie. It is an amazingly written book of modern life from the eyes of Queenie. It is highly relatable in some areas and understandable in others. Queenie is one of the best books I have ever read in my life and I would highly recommend it for everyone. It is a truly wholesome experience. You will not regret reading this book and this book was really hyped even before I read it. Now that I read it, I think it definitely is worth the hype and deserves even more.
