Solid debut but overall just feel OK about this. I liked Maddie well enough, but I don't think she was a compelling main character. I think grief was handled well. I think the mother daughter relationship was handled well. I think Ghanaian culture, language, and families were handled well. I wish the romantic relationships were...not what they were lol. Sam is cool but having that come together in the last 10% is disappointing. 

Anywho, should be an interesting tv adaptation. On to the next!
