Okay, so I'm "medicated" right now and hormonal as Hell. This should be fun. Pros: well paced and in a unique town Cons: I. Hate. Everyone. In. This. Book. Every character was a cookie cutter walking stereotype. And the plot was so damn obvious I had it figured out about a quarter of the way t...
I finished this book today, and now I miss it. Shaker Heights is an affluent, progressive planned community in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. Elena Richardson is third-generation Shaker Heights, and it's no mistake that the Richardsons are a prominent family in the neighborhood. Elena married h...
I enjoyed this book. It’s quick, relatively light compared to a lot of my reading, and shows a lot of compassion towards a wide variety of characters. I don’t think it digs quite deep enough to be literary fiction, though it’s certainly more intelligently written than a lot of the “suburban drama an...
I knew, on finishing "Little Fires Everywhere" that I had enjoyed the book and that it was a first-rate piece of writing, excellently narrated. Yet I wasn't clear enough about what I thought of the book to write a review. So, I've let a few weeks pass, let the ideas and the images settle and gotten ...
I loved Celeste Ng’s debut, Everything I Never Told You, a novel about a young girl who committed suicide, so when this came out months ago I fully intended to start it as soon as I could.

Both the parents' and the children's sides of the story are equally engaging, although I co...
This book was really good, but it also made me really anxious. I had to stop in the middle and read a summary to find out how everything ended before I could finish it.
Unless I read something world-shattering between now and December 31, this will be my book of the year. A high-octane literary tale of the highest order, Celeste Ng tackles heady topics like racism and classism and morality and societal rebellion in smart, tactful strikes. Like the best literary f...
OMG, I read Ms. Ng’s first book and loved it. I couldn’t put it down. The same can definitely be said for this book if not more. I loved all the characters especially Mia, Pearl and the Richardson children. My ❤️ broke for Bebe. I would love to find out what happened to the characters years later
