';A book that sneaks up on you...I am hooked.' Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author

This acclaimed and ';welcome debut from a seriously talented author' (New York Post) is a disarmingly honest, unapologetically black, and undeniably witty novel that will speak to those who have gone looking for love and found something very different in its place.

Queenie Jenkins is a twenty-five-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 placesincluding several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth.

As Queenie careens from one questionable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, ';What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be?'all of the questions today's woman must face in a world trying to answer them for her.

';A must-read novel about sex, selfhood, and the best friendships that get us through it all' (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author), Queenie is a remarkably relatable exploration of what it means to be a modern woman searching for meaning in today's world.
