This book started slowly, but it was worth reading until the end.  Watching Maddie come into her own was tremendous.

Maame is a beautiful portrayal of the duality of early adulthood.  From googling how to go on a first date to navigating the delicate balance between family duty and independence, I deeply related to so many of the main character’s experiences. I hope there is a lot more to come from this author!

This started slow for me but I liked where it went. Maddie is complicated and lovable and relatable at times and just all around a character you truly feel you’re in her head. 4.5 stars rounded up.
