This book really surprised me. It’s quite mysterious and not at all what I expected! It begins with the end of the book and then goes through the storyline. Lots of twists and turns! At first it was a little complicated to keep up with all the characters and their stories, but I finally understood the differences after several chapters.

I really enjoyed this one. Captured my attention right from the start, and I appreciated the discussions of class, race, and motherhood. Will definitely pick up more Celeste Ng in future.

this book is so intriguing and thought provoking! I spent any free time I had reading because I really couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I devoured Little Fires Everywhere.
There are so many characters and inter woven storylines. It wasn’t hard to keep track and all of them were interesting.
I enjoyed how the author broached topics like motherhood, relationships, adoption, surrogacy, abortion, racism, and a seemingly utopian society. All of this while still keeping the characters and their stories engaging.
The metaphorical writing! Using elements of nature or just about anything to describe the emotions of the characters was wonderful to read.
It’s a little slow in the beginning but once you get to the know the characters and the plot picks up, it’s completely worth the wait. I’m so happy I grabbed this book from a Little Free Library!

4.75

Starts off as a story that you feel like you’ve heard/read before - a nice neighborhood has people who are a little different from their neighbors move in and shake things up, but this book transforms into so much more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s not often that I find the telling of a story to capture so many complexities and intimacies of characters and issues as well as this story did for me. I thought this book introduced and tackled many of them quite exceptionally (A lot of times in TV shows, movies, or other books, I think, “There could have been more details about this” or “I didn’t like how this issue/conflict was brought up and then resolved without much discussion”, and I didn’t feel this way with this book!).

All of the characters remind me of someone I know or knew and the moral dilemmas they all face ring a painful truth of how difficult decisions don’t always have a clear right or wrong way to the answer. I especially loved Ng’s attention-to-detail writing style and the mystery of the story (and ending) that keep you hooked. Minus .25 because I think chapters could be organized better with character anecdotes.
