Oh sure, she's a fictional character. But she's completely charming and a bit awkward and can't we just all relate a bit there?
I had FOMO when I saw Maame by debut author Jessica George everywhere on Bookstagram. Scooped it up and so glad I did.
Maame is so many things - Maddie's nickname in Twi means "woman". But the book deals with so many elements - the importance of her Ghanaian culture, family struggles and finding her voice. There is much heartbreak, but just as much humour. We're alongside Maddie as she's finding her way as an adult - in her career, through the slow then sudden loss of her father, navigating dating and friendships, and her social identity as a Black woman.
And her Google searches are just the perfect touch.
This is an absolutely gorgeous and relatable novel and it will stick with me for a long time. Definitely recommended.
