May Meetup — Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams

May's book is Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams:

Queenie Jenkins is a 25-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.

Let's plan on the café, but if it's really nice out we can head over to Central Park. I'll touch base about that when we get closer to the date.

👉 Please RSVP if you are coming, and cancel it if something changes

👉 Please don't come without RSVPing

👉 Feel free to JOIN THE WAITLIST if you miss a spot, but please wait and see if you've gotten in before attending! No-shows in these smaller months will result in immediate removal from the group -- it's very uncool to prevent someone on the waitlist from getting in if you're not coming, and that keeps happening! 😠

Fee will be collected at the meeting in cash or via Venmo [@RoseMEsposito] -- Meetup charges me $200+ a year, so I'm just attempting to pay myself back. 🚨Just ignore the online payment feature.🚨
