At first this reminded me of an Emily Henry book due to the way the protagonist thinks/the author writes, but with an added layer of Ghanaian culture and being Black in London. But then the book took a turn for a more serious tone, and I ended up with tears in my eyes more than once. I enjoyed the imperfect characters and the honest and realistic storylines. Plus, I have to say, the book cover is gorgeous.

3.75. I loved most parts of this book. The rating would have been higher but things got too neatly sewn up at the end. Some of these good things could have happened. All of them were too much.

This was a touching story of coming of age, learning to deal with grief, and depression, taking care of an aging, ill parent pretty much on your own, and balancing that with other responsibilities while still learning about yourself and growing into your own person. It started off slow for me, but once I got into this book, it was hard to put down. I kept wanting to root for Maddie and see her come out of her slump if you will. Overall great book!
