Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
4.0

I will officially read anything Celeste Ng writes. The main word that comes to mind when I think of her writing is INSIGHTFUL. She has a way of casually weaving universal truths about complex family and social relationships into her stories, putting words to feeling you didn’t even know you had. I find her characters, as well as the ways they interact with each other, utterly believable. The way they dance around each other, speaking in half-truths and holding secrets close, the way their stories weave in and out of each other, is just so real and breathtaking. This is true for both her novels, but I do personally prefer Everything I Never Told You just a bit more. I’m also curious if the word “every” will be a theme in her titles or just a coincidence. Either way, eagerly anticipating her next work.
