Many thanks to NetGalley and Gallery/Scout Press for gifting me the sequel to Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 3.5 stars rounded up!
Queenie is now 33, the editorial director for a media network promoting the voices of Black women. A research appointment goes wrong and shows that her fertility may be compromised, even while she's not sure she even wants kids. Everyone around her seems to have found their person and can start a family with ease, and Queenie feels out of sorts and that time is running out on all parts of her life.
It was fun reconnecting with Queenie, although in some ways she hasn't changed too much - like the title says, she's working on it. I loved the family connection here because even when they can drive us crazy, they will want the best for us. And sometimes, we just need to get out of the way.
