Best book I’ve read in a bit. I really enjoyed it. Didn’t want to put the book down. I guess my only critique would be the brief part where Maddie asks Shu why she likes girls and there’s no reference to the fact that people’s sexualities just are what they are and they can’t choose.

Maame was slow for me at first but I ended up really enjoying it. It was a really lovely coming of age story about a woman in her 20s, which I don’t see very often because usually coming of age stories involve teens.  The sorry felt very real and I identified with Maddie in many ways, as someone who is also currently 25, about to be 26. Her complicated family dynamics were realistic and touching. Would definitely recommend reading it
