Maame by Jessica George

fast-paced

3.0

I know so many people loved this one, but I really struggled with the protagonist. Her naivety didn’t make sense to me given her alleged love of reading & how quickly she had to grow up due to her family. Her inner dialogue felt trite and bordered on cringe for me.

There were moments I liked - typically ones where we weren’t locked into Maddie’s inner dialogue. Protagonists like this rarely work for me, so this is def more on me than the book itself.
