Really great novel delving into grief, caring for an ill parent, moving out on your own for the first time, navigating relationships & friendships. A strong coming of age story - and while mostly heavy, there are some lighter moments to laugh at. I enjoyed learning a little bit about Ghanaian culture and how that impacted Maddie in her life in London. I just wish we had gotten more time with
Sam because he was such a well-rounded character, even for the short time we had with him
. Glad I finally got around to this one as it had been on my TBR since it released!
