Maame
by Jessica George
emotional
hopeful
lighthearted
reflective
This was sweet, but ultimately not that memorable.
It explored themes of self discovery, mental health, and grief but in a lighthearted way. Not bad, but also didn’t strike me as a favorite.
I can see how the mid-20s existential crisis explored in this book can be super relatable and why this one became so popular a few years back. Yet, I didn’t find Maddie to be extraordinary as a character, and the secondary & tertiary characters were unmemorable to the point that I forgot all of their names.
A light read, and the audiobook was nice to listen to as well!
