    Queenie is Working on It

    Candice Carty-Williams

    Formats & Editions

    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.
