I am not sure I can come up with the words to describe how incredible this book is. This story is about Maddie, who has lived her life trying to please her family and is a “late bloomer,” as she finally sets out to create a life for herself. There are details about Ghanaian culture woven into the story which is very cool. And this book is set in London!

There are depictions of racial microaggressions that Maddie experiences throughout the book, from her flat mates, coworkers, love interest, and strangers. George did an amazing job of weaving these in and showing Black womens’ experiences. And the depictions of mental health struggles were so relatable. I really enjoyed the stream of consciousness writing style of this.

The audiobook is FAB for this. The narrator does an excellent job of matching the writing style. Would definitely read on audio if you’re an audiobook person!!
