BOOK REVIEW
[Little Fires Everywhere] A mother and daughter shead sparks in a strict, planned community.
//
WHAT I LIKED
Ng's pace is masterfully meandering, but purposeful. She write like we are hearing all the information nonchalantly at a backyard cookout. Her placement of character background and action is amazing!
/
I'm a sucker for a continued metaphor. Ng uses her fire motif expertly. There are little sparks of it in each chapter without bashing the reader over the head with a forced metaphor.
//
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I understand her ending choices, but I wanted more. I don't want to give any spoilers, so read it and message me for more ideas!
