How is it possible for one woman to hold it together when she's:
Confronted with a racing biological clock when she doesn't even know if she wants kids.
Trying to act normal when her heart is smashed into a million pieces.
Ten times smarter than the people she's working for.
Priced out of the housing market in the place she grew up.
Stuck in a situationship when all she wants is the love of her life back . . .
Bigger. Not better. Older. Not wiser. Queenie Jenkins is working on it.
Award-winning author Candice Carty-Williams returns with a scalpel-sharp, poignant and hilarious new book that shines a dazzling light on the realities of modern womanhood.

Where to start....this a five star read. It takes Queenie when we last left her and adds a maturity to her, without the mistake of her being in any way close to perfect. She faces many challenges, with some very serious issues and I felt the same concern, anger and rage that I felt when I read the first book. I feel so protective of Queenie and it was a blessing to spend more time in her company. She is a beacon for us all, that we are all just trying our best and that the world is still as messed up as before.. I thought it was a very moving book and thoroughly enjoyed it.
