Description
Summary:"She's thirty-three, the editorial director for The Good Sis, a thriving media network amplifying the voices of Black women--a far cry from her former toxic workplace. With a great platform and a renewed sense of purpose, she's fighting the good fight. But when an appointment for research goes haywire and reveals startling truths about her own fertility, Queenie is confronted with a racing biological clock when she's not even sure she wants kids in the first place. She's sort of seeing someone, but it's not that serious (according to him), and her mom, grandma, and aunt Maggie all mean well, but they keep asking when she's going to settle down. Surrounded by loyal friends who seem to fall in love with their person and get pregnant at the drop of a hat and the reappearance of an old flame she never stopped loving while being pulled into a series of confusing 'situationships' that really do NOT go anywhere means that for Queenie, time is running out in all parts of her life. She's determined to do what she thinks is best to get back on track, no matter how many mistakes it takes to get this right"--Front jacket flap.
