I loved this. Maddie was brought to life so well and I wanted the best for her the whole time. The themes of grief and friendship and coming-of-age and cultural differences were well explored and thoughtfully crafted. Each character brought something extra to Maddie's life, good and bad, and I loved going along with her journey.

Reading this has been nothing short of spectacular, I couldn't put it down and frankly I'm in love with Maame. Jessica George is a gift.
(btw it deserves more than 5 stars)

I really enjoyed this book and found it really easy to read. I felt like we also got to see a glimpse of the author’s personality, as this book seems partially autobiographical, and she seems to be genuine and kind.
Although this book is centered around Maddie dealing with the loss of her father after being his caregiver for many years while also dealing with her problematic family members, it still manages to be funny and relatable. I think many women who have been through early adulthood can relate. This book had me reminiscing on the naïveté of my early 20s as well all the changes that came with that time period such as leaving home, living with roommates, making friends, finding new jobs, dating, depression, therapy, and the journey of finding oneself (which never ends). This book also made me grateful that I’m no longer in that phase of my life!!
Enjoyable and fun read - highly recommend!
