Decided to read this after loving the show and really enjoyed it. I’d be interested to see what my feelings would’ve been reading this without watching the show first as I constantly contrasted the differences between the two and I THINK the show was a BIT better and gave the characters more dimension.

This was a hard read. So much to unpack. A deeply moving book about ethical and moral dilemas.

Celeste Ng is the queen of domestic drama. Period.

I loved this book so much. The writing is superb, and it moved me as much as “Everything I Never Told You” (one of my favorite books that I read last year.) There were plot points that had my jaw dropped.

I can’t wait to read this again.
