A new classic for the American canon. Manages to be both reflective and a page turner. I can see why they made it a TV show! I’ll have to watch it. 

If she wasn’t already a great author, Celeste Ng might consider a career in photography.

This was a compelling read, but it ended very abruptly, and it wasn't a satisfying ending in my opinion.

I enjoyed reading this when I was reading it, but when I wasn’t I didn’t think about it or anything. I just felt like the the first 60% nothing happened and I was wondering what the point of this was. I did enjoy the characters, but I did keep getting some of them confused(mostly Lexie and Izzy). I did not like the ending tbh.
