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.

This book is a slow read but picks up after a while. I would’ve loved to understand the background of her father more. The main character is a bit naive which works for the story line but over all not a bad read!
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.
