Customer Reviews

Queenie is the story of an imperfect girl finding herself. Queenie is a Queen

Queenie is not your typical nice girl. She is loud she is flawed and she is real. I loved how she was determined to get back up even after her long term relationship ended in such an unresolved way. I found myself screaming Queenie stop doing this, after she let people around her treat her badly. I couldn't believe she would allow people to do this, but the more I read the more I saw myself in her. I stated to understand that when you are feeling so low you will allow people to use you. This story is real and not a fairytale. It has an extremely realistic view of what depression and anxiety look like. Queenie also has to battle against her own family to show them she needed help, since in her culture mental health is not something you talk about out loud. I would recommend this story to anyone needing a good laugh and a realistic story.
