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.

Publisher Review

Queenie’s return is welcome and delightfully assured. Fizzing with life, fun and sensual energy, she is one of modern UK fiction’s great heroines. * Diana Evans * I cannot tell you how much I loved this second slice of Queenie’s life. I laughed and cried, and was once again in awe of Candice Carty-Williams ability to depict a real, imperfect life in such a captivating way. I flew through every page, and my only request is that we get to check in again at some point in the future. * Jennie Godfrey, author of THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS * In Queenie Is Working On It, Candice Carty-Williams reminds us of the power in community, friends, and family. We join an older Queenie Jenkins in all of her thoughts, process and indecisions. Her conflict, fight and absolutions. A welcomed return filled with enough gasps to leave you bursting at the seams! * Yomi Sode * No one tells a story like Carty-Williams. QUEENIE IS WORKING ON IT was like being reunited with our adored messiest friend in the warmest way. This book is full of so much heart, humour and honesty and I am so grateful to be living in a world where CCW is writing. * Bolu Babalola *
