Book
Queenie : a novel / Candice Carty-Williams.
"Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places--including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth"-- Provided by publisher.
