Seller Description
One of my favorite books of 2023! 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. Condition: very good used. Some wear to dust jacket. One small mark inside (see photo)

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers overwhelmingly appreciate the emotional depth and relatability of this coming-of-age story. They praise its authentic depiction of grief, mental health, and the pressures of caregiving, particularly through the lens of the protagonist, Maddie. Many felt a strong connection to Maddie and her journey of self-discovery, cheered her on, and found her to be a well-rounded and likable character. While some noted that the story dragged in parts and had a few unlikable characters, the overall writing, cultural insights, and emotional resonance made it a standout read for them. The book's ability to blend humor with profound themes and its effective use of narrative techniques, such as inner monologues and textual elements, were also highlighted as strengths.
