After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places…including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth.

Queenie wasn't getting off on it either - she tells her friends that she never experienced an orgasm with anyone. The sex was sad and gross and violent in a one-sided and definitely not sexy way.

But it is important to the story to know just how awful Queenie's encounters were, and how she overlooked how bossy and demeaning her sex partners were verbally, to contrast with how she spun these encounters to herself afterward and to establish a pattern.

He put a hand on my thigh and moved it higher, digging his nails into my skin. That'll be a pair of tights gone. This book is a bit deceiving.

Queenie is such a funny and lovable character, with what I think of as a very British sense of humour. The book opens with multiple scenes that made me laugh and the author quickly builds up a warm and hilarious dynamic between Queenie and her girlfriends "the Corgis" , and between Queenie and her Jamaican grandparents.

This is everything I would have He put a hand on my thigh and moved it higher, digging his nails into my skin. This is everything I would have expected from a book being compared to Bridget Jones's Diary.

Which is why I feel like I need to issue a warning: this book goes to some really dark places. Bridget Jones is klutzy and embarrassing; Queenie is a far more complex and real character.

She is dealing with mental health issues and a post-relationship breakdown. The decisions she makes - like having unprotected sex with lots of different men - are clearly not healthy.

I know some readers will feel frustrated with her behaviour at times, but I also think the author never portrays it as a good thing, and instead honestly portrays a young woman dealing with severe anxiety in the only way she feels she can.

I think it's a good example of some very serious issues being wrapped up in a book that is full of humour to balance out the sadness.

Queenie has just broken up with her long-term boyfriend Tom, who is white. Through flashbacks, we soon learn that their relationship was pretty messed up from the start, with Tom refusing to defend her against his family's casual racism.

Queenie doesn't see it that way, though. This break-up has hit her hard. Carty-Williams explores dating, anxiety and racism through the eyes of a modern-day Jamaican Brit, and she does it all with a sense of humour and no aversion to cringe factor.

Oversharing at inappropriate moments, dating disasters, and witty badass girlfriends are just some of the sources of hilarity in this book.

I think the serious issues are actually more impactful because of their juxtaposition with the humour and friendship.

No, this isn't another Bridget Jones's Diary , but then we're not living in the 90s anymore either. Queenie is bolder, more complicated, more diverse and - ultimately - more feminist.

And I see nothing to complain about in that. Blog Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube View all 43 comments.

Jul 01, Roxane rated it really liked it. This is the kind of novel whose excellence sneaks up on you. The beginning is kind of rocky and I wasn't sure where the book was going but then it gets great and unputdownable and I held my breath reading as fast as I could to see what would happen to Queenie.

This is an amazing novel about what it means to be a black girl whose world is falling apart and needs to find the strength to put it back together. There is so much ground covered here from dealing with anxiety and self-loathing to compli This is the kind of novel whose excellence sneaks up on you.

There is so much ground covered here from dealing with anxiety and self-loathing to complicated families and learning to let go of things and people that won't serve you well.

And Queenie is the kind of narrator you cannot help but root for even as she makes infuriating choices. Wonderful, wonderful novel full of charm and wit and warmth and energy.

I empathized a lot with the protagonist and her struggles along with the portrayal of mental health, including the cultural stigma of seeking therapy, how childhood affects the way we treat relationships, how we internalize racism and learn to love ourselves as a WOC, etc.

The audiobook narrator also did a great job at bringing the story to life. I struggle to emotionally connect with this book as much as I should, mainly because the progression of the narrative felt disjointed.

I wish the two had been better interwoven together for a more nuanced portrayal rather than a grand revelation towards the end. View all 5 comments.

Mar 27, Nilufer Ozmekik rated it it was amazing. As soon as I started this book, I thought I was having a light reading. Because the book is advertised as modern version of Bridget Jones.

But after a few pages later, I realized this is deeper, more heart wrenching, darker and twisted story of a young woman who is looking for a tree branch to not fall down from a cliff!

This is su 5 shiny, rebellious, beautiful stars! This is such a beginning of domino falling! But the breakup is the first wake up call which pushes her make so many wrong decisions about meaningless one night stands.

Finally she understands that she was already lost from the beginning. She never thinks she deserves to be loved or she deserves good things in life.

Sometimes you hate Queenie, sometimes you feel sorry for her but mostly you understand her! I really enjoyed her story and this is a great debut!

I love to read the upcoming book of this writer! View all 8 comments. Sadly it was not my cup of tea for a few reasons. Firstly the good things about the book are the writing, especially the natural dialogue, and the fact that Queenie does get that mental health care that she so desperately needs.

However as a whole this book is based on too many black women stereotypes. I really feel the author should have toned that down.

I'm also not enjoying that this book is being pitched as Queenie is the newest debut sensation coming out of the UK by Candace Carte-Williams.

I'm also not enjoying that this book is being pitched as the black Bridget Jones Diary. These two books aren't alike at all. Queen was not a comedy for me.

I feel like it's an exploration of how a black woman watching abuse as a child and being abused affect her choices of men later on.

The book's concentration on Queenie's promiscuous lifestyle, at times was hard to read and certainly was not funny. I would even say it could be triggering to some readers.

Since the book is being pitched as humorous in the UK I had to ask myself who the target audience is supposed to be.

The author doesn't seem to disagree with that pitch because I haven't seen her say the contrary. I also feel the cover was another way to attract black women to want to read Queen, although knowing what's in between the covers, I believe many black women would pass on it.

I don't recommend it. View all 23 comments. Oct 12, Danielle rated it liked it. While I empathized with her anxiety troubles, there were other parts that just had my head shaking.

Can we all agree, that unprotected casual sex in is just plain stupid? View all 6 comments. Apr 07, Lisa rated it it was ok.

A tiresome novel that made me cranky. Everything about Queenie screams middle school angst. Queenie and her crew think and act like 12 year olds trapped in 25 year old bodies.

Take away some of the sex, replace their jobs with 7th grade classes and you have the tedious dramas of adolescence. I liked the clever use of texts.

That's about it. View all 22 comments. Mar 01, Book of the Month added it. A few years ago, I created a competition offering up my cottage to an aspiring writer in need of time and space to complete their project.

Candice was the first winner, chosen from more than applicants. She had never driven outside London before, and it took her six hours to make a two hour journey the kind of thing that would happen to her character, Queenie!

Fast forward two and a half years; Queenie is one of the most anticipated books of the year. Queenie is fresh and flawed and she made me wince and made me laugh and made me think.

Candice is a unique writer. Even that word contest entry told me there was something special about her. After re-reading the finished work I knew I had been right.

We need more voices like hers. As this debut novel by Candice Carty-Williams opens Queenie is not in a good place. This emotional void dictates her life and we watch with mounting disbelief as she makes bad decision after bad decision, her life spiralling out of control.

The characterisation of Queenie and her female friends was really effective, they lived and breathed, were warm, funny, wise and supportive.

The male characters less so. They were mostly cartoonish stereotypes, thinly drawn plot devises with one or two exceptions. On top of her emotional disasters Queenie also has to deal with the everyday racism of those around her.

Not always overt and aggressive but often subtle, unthinking, insensitive or ignorant. By the end I was cheering for Queenie and despite some reservations about the novel, I became attached to her character and really wanted things to work out.

I went into this one blind. I knew nothing about it, I read no reviews. I frequently check out my library for new audio books.

I saw this bold orange cover of a book called Queenie. It drew me in. I listened to a sample of the audio.

A heavy accent by the narrator. I grabbed a copy of the audio and jumped right in. Queenie is a hot mess.

She's a 26 year old Jamaican woman, living in London, and just completely a mess. We meet her as she is taking a 'break' from her live-in boyfriend, which HE wants, not her.

He asks her to move out and by this point, she's already on a downward spiral. She can't face reality. She's out of control. She puts herself in a few dangerous situations I think.

She's got no money, living in a nasty flat with a few flatmates, she's not there for her job, she lets the WORST men abuse her, she has issues with how people see her as a black woman.

She doesn't feel she's worth it, she really has had a hard life. It's an absolute train wreck but you can't help but watch.

When she hits the lowest of lows, she must bring herself back up. And so you watch her bring herself out of the pit and show her strength.

To be honest, I almost stopped with this one. Initially, it was a bit sexually graphic for me. Just not what I tend to read. I actually started another book, but then I did read a few reviews.

One said 'stick with it' Thanks Esil! So I pushed on and I'm so glad I did. The book gets off to a bit of a rocky start. But it immediately just jumps in to a life already out of control.

All I can say is stick with it. When someone has issues, and is mentally struggling, it's never a pretty sight. But you must see everything in it's entirety to see where Queenie is at.

I'm so glad I stuck with this one. It made me cringe, made me glad I'm married oh the horrors of dating apps , made me laugh, but made me root for Queenie.

Even though, a few times, I wanted to shake her This is so not like Bridgette Jones, other than a young girl living in London and dating.

Queenie is so much more. If you think you are going to find a Bridgette Jones here, skip this one. Romantic comedy this is NOT.

Anyway, I loved this book and just loved the audio narration. The narrator did a fabulous job. A highlight of a read for for me.

I'll remember this one for some time. So why not 5 stars I'm stingy with 5 stars. But I had to knock it a bit for being quite sexually graphic yes, made it hard to listen to the audio when husband is around saying 'what ARE you listening to' and the reading of emails and text back and forth initially drove me bonkers.

So far, this is my top read of the year. And I'll just say, give this one a shot and just stick with it. It's such a reward in the end.

I had really conflicted feelings the entire time while reading this book, but I will say that it completely sucked me in and I found it completely compelling, even though I basically spent the entire book wanting to yell at Queenie.

I hate to cringe. But I do not enjoy the feeling of extreme secondhand embarrassment. Turns out this level of drama was not warranted.

Thank God. Another pleasant surprise this book gave me, on the level of seeing an adorable baby and having the baby wave at you which is a blessing , was its discussion of sexual assault.

Books that contain sexual assault narratives often do so in black and white, but there are so, so many grayer areas. It was a brave and bold choice by this story to not shy away from that, and one I really appreciated.

Everyone in her life cares about her so much. Even, like, her boss. And whose boss cares about them?! Including a plotline in which her employer is racist towards her in what stories they select and what they listen to - and that plotline just disappears.

This could also be really hard to get through. Queenie goes through so much. She is so unhappy. And I am the kind of reader who pours myself into my books, so I feel what the characters feel.

Queenie's sadness and suffering made me very, very sad. But watching her progress at the end was enough of a reward to make that easily worthwhile.

What you will find is a woman dealing with her past trauma and her recent breakup by engaging in terrible sex with terrible men, which eventually leads her to a mental breakdown.

Does this sound like a Bridget Jones type of fun? I didn't think so. Queenie is both easy to read its writing style is very accessible and also hard to read Queenie puts herself in just horrendous situations.

There is some humor, and good British humor that appeals to me on many levels, and only that humor saves this novel from being a complete pit of misery.

Read this for observations about racism, abuse and mental illness stigma. The thing that stuck with me the most is Queenie's experience of men who view her as nothing but a sex object, something to enact their sex fantasies upon.

Their unwillingness to connect with her and see her as a person is soul-crushing. View all 10 comments. Mar 20, Meredith B. He paused and lifted his glasses to wipe his wet eyes.

Full of Fight. This is marketed as "Bridget-Jones" but I want to tell you that this is so much more than that and I mean much more and much more important that that.

Queenie is a twenty-something who is living in London. She is Jamaican and it trying to fit in to both Jamaican and Br 4.
