I really loved this book. I would say that it is aimed at people possibly younger than me, but I was real escapism for me reading the book.

I hadnt read a fictional book for a while, and to be honest I felt that this book wasn’t fiction. It was so well written I felt Queenie was my friend. I was with her every step of the way through her trails and tribulations. I could relate to the many of the situations that Queenie found herself in. 

What I did find fascinating in the book was the way in which people spoke to Queenie as a black young women, I know that Queenie was a fictional character but I also know the book was written from Candices own experiences. It was from this book that I wanted to explore more about BAME women and their experiences as young women, Mums and beyond.
