Queen B’s Decree: Solving for the Unknown is a relatively light and easy read, yet it does dive into some pretty deep feelings and issues.
Solving for the Unknown has such a found family feel. Viet is a college freshman, away from his small group of friends for the first time, but he stumbles upon a crew that is so supportive and wonderful. Evie is one of that crew, a junior back from his home town who he sort of knows. And they become fast friends.
Their friendship was pretty adorable. Viet has depression and struggles with opening up, but Evie and the others don’t let him hermit away and are always there to be his support system. And when Evie needs a confidence boost before an interview, who is there but Viet, her own little cheerleader. It’s just…heartwarming to read about.
I really enjoyed the narrators in this one, they really fit the characters and helped bring them to life.
Overall, Solving for the Unknown was a pretty quick and sweet read but I enjoyed the deeper issues.
