The Girls in Queens by Christine Kandic Torres
3.0
Ok so here’s the thing, I really enjoyed the writing in this and think Torres is a talented writer, but it was so incredibly slow. For so long, it was giving no plot, just vibes which would have been fine, but because there were smaller pieces of sexual misconduct sprinkled in, you knew it would be a bigger theme later so you were left waiting for something to happen and I’m not sure the pay off was there. The cast of characters were extremely unlikable, which I know was the point. Like after a chapter I couldn’t be convinced Kelly even liked Brisma and I couldn’t rationalize why they were even friends aside from the need of acceptance on Brisma’s end and the need to be wanted from Kelly’s end.
Each character was flawed and was wronged so you could almost understand why they were the way they were, but it was hard to read sometimes because I just wanted to shake Brisma to WAKE THE FUCK UP. All in all, it was a just ok book. I would definitely read from this author again but hope that there is a stronger story behind it.
