Comparing Queenie to Bridget Jones is a nice shorthand, but it sells the title character a little short. Sure, she's 25, lives in London, and she's going through a messy breakup with her white boyfriend. But Queenie is Jamaican British and her problems are more complicated than the number of cigarettes she's smoking daily or her parents getting divorced. Queenie is smart and timely, funny, and sometimes painful. It addresses feminism, racism, code switching, Black Lives Matter, workplace inequality, and mental health. AND STILL MANAGES TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!I loved her, despite her flaws, and I loved that her friends did, too. Queenie comes out on the other end with new realizations and better equipped to cope than when she went in. And in 2019, that feels like the best any of us can do.
I never add review but I did have to for this one. Managed to get half way through after beginning to skim pages. If I could rate this book with negative stars I would. Can’t understand the write ups recommending. It
Read the reviews and thought this would be an awesome book to read. It was OK. There was a lot of language used that was difficult to follow. I did enjoy the sisterhood. I would recommend it with caution.
Everybody knows a Queenie. She is a woman that constantly underestimates her value and doesn't see the gifts she possesses.
I wish we could give more nuanced stars because I would go closer to 4 stars than 3. Probably 3.5-3.8. I'm so torn on this. Briget Jones it is NOT, even though that's the blurb it's given (Bridget Jones meets Americanah, and I'm sorry to say I haven't read that yet, so I can't speak to that half of the comparison). That was a bumbling story about a goofy girl that...well, I'm not writing a review about that so not wasting any more time there. There's a lot good about this story, and there's a lot problematic about this story, and there's a lot that I feel like it's not even my place to speak on as a white woman. Queenie starts the story in a break up with her white boyfriend. The entirety of the first good half of the book is taken up by that. One of his family members is AWFUL. Racist, rude, horrible, flat out awful to her, and while, yes there are moments in their relationship that she's pushed him away and picked petty arguments with him, this was a shining moment for him to WTF himself out of his family's house until they apologized to her. He didn't. He let her make a cold, dark walk to a bus bench and sit there for hours, to what? Think about what awful choice she'd made by storming out, rightfully angry? Pfft. Boy, please. But...she doesn't boy please. She tries to forget it happened, and gets confused when he says he needs "time apart." She spends the next moooonths making terrible sexual decisions, placing herself in horrible, dangerous positions, this gets DARK ya'll. Two of her friends, Darcy and Kyazike are gems and stay by her side throughout, but one friend ends up in a huge plot twist and you'll wish she would kick her to the curb for good. The girl has no redeeming qualities. Carty-Williams makes mental health issues a primary topic in this novel, really delving into the hurt and pain that Queenie dealt with in her childhood, from abandonment by her father, to the abuse she and her mother suffered at the hands of Roy, all of which get brought up in therapy during a hiatus she is forced to take from work. I feel like the real glory of this book is the end, duh - when is it not, but truthfully not all book are great at the end. She has made leaps and bounds finding herself again after dealing with some really painful memories, and making some real growth when it comes to learning from how her origin shaped who she is as an adult. Purely from the standpoint of a woman, it was really painful to read some of what this character put herself through. My heart broke for so many times through this book but that's the mark of a well written character. That we care enough that they're healing, and that we're glad they have the support systems in place that Queenie had when she comes out the other side.
In the name of full disclosure, there are two things I should start this review with. The first is that I received this book for free through Bookish First. The second is that I am white, very white. So, while I enjoyed this book personally, I can’t quite say what it would be like to read it from another perspective.The thing that first grabbed my attention with this book was, honestly, the cover. It is stunning! It’s definitely something that would catch your eye on the bookstore shelf. Then I read the excerpt that was provided on the Bookish First website. I was blown away! You would think that, given the narrator of the novel, that this would be a book geared toward a very narrow and audience. But you would be wrong. This book is so incredibly relatable. The main character faces a slew of issues that I think every millennial has dealt with. In the first chapter of the book, the protagonist, Queenie, goes to the gynecologist for an issue with her IUD. It turns out that she was pregnant and has had a miscarriage. This was what really drew me into Queenie’s world and made her relatable to me. I gave birth to my own IUD baby about four months ago. Despite our major differences, this was something Queenie and I had in common.Bad relationships, getting over heartbreak, casual sex, struggles at work and finding a career, crappy housing with incredibly high rents, Queenie faces all of this and more in the first half of the book. The second half of the book delves into even more issues, like social injustice, the Black Lives Matter movement, and mental health issues like the anxiety that Queenie herself faces. Every single millennial that I know has dealt with at least one of these issues, many of them have dealt with them all. Regardless of background or race, this is a book that every millennial should read.One of the things that I’ve read online is that they some readers take issue with Queenie’s casual, often abusive relationships and her long-term relationship with a white man. They say that she is constantly being taken advantage of by white men. I completely disagree with this for two reasons. The first reason Is that a number of her sexual partners are not white. Her first casual encounter is with a Pakistani man, not a white man. I also feel that her anxiety and insecurity that she deals with in the second half of the novel really contribute to her choosing poor partners. Second, without giving too much away, from what we learn about Queenie’s mother and her own relationships, it comes as no surprise that Queenie lets men take advantage of her.The bigger issue, I find, is that this book is compared to novels like Bridget Jones's Diary. This not at all the light-hearted, chick-flick novel that Bridget Jones is. Queenie deals with much more serious issues and is often much more hard to handle. It is, in many ways, better. But it definitely not the book to read if you’re looking for a light read.Overall, it is an amazing book that I would recommend to any millennial, or anyone looking to read more about the problems our generation is facing.
