Maame by Jessica George

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I originally was not in the mood for a sad book and wasn't sure how this would go. But I just loved Maddie and her inner dialogue, and rooted for her the entire way through until I ended the book in a puddle of sobs. Sweet, tender, and honest...Maame earned it's spot as the first 5* read of 2024!
