So this is how Queen came to be. I really liked this one. I've liked Regina on and off. In this one, holy shitsticks! Ade and Whitt's father is a complete rapist asshat! I'm sucked this story down in a few hours because I was riveted. Learning about Regina as a child is illuminating. Seeing how Grant, Ade and Whitt interact with their father is very disturbing.
I love how Ms. Chilson builds her characters here. As she reveals more about parts about their life, it's distressing and shows how they came to be. I'm rooting for Regina. She needs to take Daniel Sr. OUT!
I can't wait to read the next one in this series. This one while dark, wasn't so fucked up like the others for me. Recommended for those who love rooting for the underdog.
