Maame by Jessica George
4.0

Almost 5 stars for me. What holds me back from 5 is the beginning where I had difficulty empathizing with Maddie because I don't have lots of patience with people who passively accept things that aren't good for them.

That's bad on me, I know! A fault that I struggle to overcome. I mean, yes I empathize with people having a hard time and yes I do everything I can to help, but when a person just continues to be passive and doesn't take steps to improve the situation then my patience starts slipping.

That's the way the book started, but it quickly drew me in and, maybe, I may have learned that I need to be even more patient!
