I loved this one so much, I read it twice back-to-back! I felt so SEEN by the author’s ability to encapsulate the main character’s relationship with her parents. The responsibility of an only daughter within certain cultures can be difficult to understand, but she just GETS IT! Maddie is me and I am Maddie and I’ve never highlighted so many relatable passages in a book before. Touching, funny, smart, and wonderful!!
