The first half of the book is heart wrenching. The ending warmed my heart. Queenie shows great strength in this world where she is mistreated repeatedly. She picks herself up by accepting therapy which is not accepted in her culture. She slowly recovers with the help from her realistically imperfect friends and family.

And there is where anyone that's ever felt lost, confused, and alone realizes that she's just like us. Maybe you look different, speak different, live somewhere else. Maybe you've never slept your way through your pain or allowed yourself to be used by someone else. But somewhere, in amongst all of Queenie's shit, you'll find yourself. Lord knows I did.
The best part of this book for me was the very end because it was honest. Life has not magically improved for Queenie. Therapy didn't fix everything. But, she's trying. She is a work in progress, like we all are. And, honestly, it was refreshing to see someone else struggle and not get to some make believe perfect place in the end because life isn't perfect. Never has been, never will be.
