QUEENIE BY CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS: BOOK REVIEW

 


Queenie!  Strong, fierce, firm, vulnerable, and funny. A delightful read, made me have a rethink about bottling up emotions and taking it all in. 

Queenie is a story of a British-Jamaican woman in her twenties. Set in south London, the book openly talks about sex, contraception, relationships, mental health, and STDs. 

There is something about being black, being young, and navigating a career path as a young woman, it is tough! and for Queenie who carried the childhood baggage of trauma, it is worse. And yes, it is okay to seek help, enough of the stigma.Trauma changes us in ways that we do not expect and we can only hope to not just be able to recognize the changes but also to seek help to mitigate the damages. 

Quite a lot of sex scenes, but it is a great read overall and yes go get it girl.
