My boss, a woman in her fifties, gave this to me so I wasn't expecting much but wow! This was a super fun and easy read that made me laugh.
Meddy as a character was sweet although a little frustrating; her fundamental misunderstanding of her family's struggles and strength, as well as how her mom and aunties care for her, got a bit tiring, but the resolution was so sweet. I loved Nathan and am hoping we get more of him in the sequel.
The obvious stars here are Meddy's mom and aunties. They were icons and legends and I need more of them!
Looking forward to the sequel!!
