Incredibly well written work by Celeste Ng. Complex story with well developed characters. None of the characters are very likable, but they are interesting.

3.75

The ending picks up quickly and makes the book for me. I felt so much build up and for the first 2/3 of the novel I felt I was missing something, but it all comes together at once for a final 1/3 that kept me gripped. Big rec for people who want to explore mother daughter relationships, avoid if you do not!
