I liked the premise and the characters, but the dialogue felt forced and simplistic. I wanted to like this more. Definite readalike for Candice Carty-Williams, but not as fun.

3.5. I think I would have loved this more if I hadn’t listened on audible. It felt disconnected

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)
