I'm going to be lazy by quoting the Goodreads description and agreeing with it: “Americanah meets Bridget Jones Diary” is a super apt description for this book. Queenie is at once so relatable in the mid-late 20s anxieties of work life, dating, and struggling with anxiety and not relatable (but certainly informative) in being a Black woman in London from a different ethnic/cultural background. It was a fun read and the actual text message bubbles and formatted email chains, which could have veered into tacky, worked well here. An enjoyable read overall.
