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.

Good book. I listened to the audio book and it was strangely edited. There were parts of the story that were recorded on a different microphone or in a different environment. Like maybe the first time a word was mispronounced? Sometimes it would be like one sentence. Sometimes it would be like three words out of a sentence. When this happened it popped me out of the story. Like the flow was messed up. I donât know how that got past the final stages and onto the shelves. But that aside I really liked this book.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic. This book is well written and very relatable for me. Her mother was selfish and infuriating at times.I love that Madeline had a happy ending
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!
