{"product_id":"9781501196027-secondhand-queenie","title":"Queenie","description":"*NOW A HULU ORIGINAL SERIES* \"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 places...including 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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961304551643,"sku":"9781501196027-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/74777499-0381-4b7c-a980-e5ba95b2263e.jpg?v=1793198921","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781501196027-secondhand-queenie","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
