Maame
by Jessica George
This book. Wow. Wow. Wow. Where to even start? This book addressed important topics such as grief, mental health, racism and family duty in such a powerful way without ever feeling dense as it really did go down easy.
At times this book was darkly funny in a way I appreciated, but fair warning, it does get pretty bleak. Now, I love a “depressing” book, so that didn’t bother me, but fair warning to make sure you’re in a good place for this one.
I loved Maddie as a main character. She was relatable and endearing. I thought she was so well-developed and I really felt for her and wanted to give her a hug. She is in her mid-twenties but this really was a beautiful coming-of-age story.
I absolutely adored this book and can’t recommend it highly enough. Is it too early to say this will be a strong contender for favorites of the year?
