Wow, what an incredibly stunning debut from Jessica George. Family dynamics, racism, cultural assimilation, mental health - all of these are explored on the page as we follow Maddie through the trials of losing her Dad, living on her own for the first time, changing jobs, and pulling herself out of a hole she hadn’t realized she had fallen into. I already know this is going to be one of my favorite books of 2023 and I highly recommend you add it to your reading list!
