Maame
Smart, funny, and deeply affecting, Jessica George's Maame deals with the themes of our time with humor and poignancy: from familial duty and racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, and the life-saving power of friendship. Most important, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes and cultures―and it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Maame and her internal dialogues. This book explored many relatable topics that some of us face. Depression, love, lost, grief, discrimination at work, over sexualization, *rape, dating in the modern day, friendships, lies, therapy, family structures, culture, and so much more. It was a nice read, learning how others process and deal with the everyday struggles of life and family dynamics. I truly enjoyed Maame’s internal dialogues as she processes things happening in her everyday life. I love how she came into herself and became more committed and tied to her culture.
Great story about a woman finding her way through life after her father dies. The mother was no help, in fact she was real piece of work. A wonderful story that touches on racism, death, family and growing into your own life.
