Maame by Jessica George

medium-paced

2.0

I struggled to get through this book. The part I enjoyed most were scenes with Maddie’s family. Some of the dialogue with her mother and therapist at the end were really interesting and nuanced conversations about the experience of being a Ghanaian daughter. 

However, the rest of the dialogue was so flat it took me out of it. I grew very tired of reading all the fake google searches for every problem. The roommates and love interests were so one dimensional. I struggled to sympathize with Maddie.
