Review of 'Queenie' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

2+—Queenie didn't achieve everything it set out to, nor its billing. Too much time was spent on descriptions of her sex life and illness (that is, its physical manifestation—more might have been done to address its importance/impact), while not enough was spent on the social commentary. I spent most of the book wanting to shake her by the shoulders for her self-abuse and her acceptance of abuse from others. For the most part, I liked her squad.
