Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - Little Fires Everywhere

I really enjoyed this book, although it stressed me out. The author does a great job of portraying privilege and putting the reader into the headspace of people who hurt others.

I found it good but very slow. The plot line is interesting and holds your interest. The bouncing around between different storylines and years was done well and although it doesn’t feel chaotic when reading, it does make it feel like they are embers in the book keeping the fires burning. Whether this was the purpose of not, it’s clear the author knew exactly what they wanted to portray and put their entire selves into creating it rather than using their words. You can tell there are so many small intentional details throughout. I want to give a higher rating for the writing and story development but this is a book I’m glad I read once but wouldn’t want to read it again (which is odd for me)

I went into this book thinking it would be more mysterious. Not a thriller per se but definitely thought it would be more of a mystery. This felt very character driven, but I struggled to see the development of the characters. This wasn’t a bad book, but due to the afore mentioned reasons, it rated a little low for me.

I went into this book not expecting anything special; I had gotten it at a yard sale last summer, and had simply glanced over the premise. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that I not only enjoyed the writing, but the plot was genuinely incredible and all of the characters were so intricately thought out. I found myself voicing my own opinions on matters in the plot out loud because this book was full of passion and fire. ABSOLUTELY a suggested read!
