Maame by Jessica George
4.0

So!! Good!! I read the first chapter weeks ago and then had to step away for a bit because of other commitments but from that chapter, I was hooked. I spent weeks waiting to finish everything else I had going on excited to revisit Maddie and her complex family story! About A 25 year old Ghanian English woman who loses her father and finds courage and identity, George is insightful and vulnerable in Maame. Relationships- familial , platonic, romantic, professional are HARD and Maddie really struggles managing them all while standing up for herself, but that’s why this book is so relatable. It’s devastating and hopeful, raw and original. I loved it!
