I really wanted to enjoy this book a lot more than I did. I found the first two thirds of the book quite repetitive and tiresome. The main character's, Queenie's, behaviour was infuriating me. I really didn't understand why Queenie didn't want to date black men, especially as she was so vocal and had such strong views against racism - surely you can't and shouldn't judge an entire demographic on one experience. I thought the last third of the book had much more value and touched upon real issues and had more depth to it. And is was nice to see Queenie come out of her rut and tackle some of her mental health issues. But I feel that some may see this change in the book as too little, too late.
