Maame by Jessica George

5.0

I'm not sure if this truly is the perfect book, or if this book came to me at simply the perfect time. Either way I absolutely loved Maame. Maddie is an incredibly likable protagonist navigating adulthood for the very first time and her understated bravery at putting herself out into the world made this story what it is.

Maddie's grief and frustration is front and center throughout most of this book, and George does an excellent job approaching this topic with nuance and tenderness.

I just loved it.
