i hate this book, i read it for book club and it was such a slow and bothersome read. the characters are introduced as stereotypes which was already annoying but i thought maybe that the author was trying to make a point about how the town is obsessed with the law and following rules, NO 

ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST ANNOYING TROPES THAT DONT GET BETTER!! 

the author tries to write character development but half of the characters (trip, izzy, moody, etc) don’t really matter in the book and are tied to important characters like mia or mrs richardson but they don’t change or are only used to progress others. 

i didn’t enjoy the personalities of the characters or the plot of the book, it was very bland even when the baby trial was happening. the best part of the book was mia’s childhood, but other than that i found it somewhat boring to read.

otro libro con el que me tarde siglooooos, aino, pues esta meh la verdad, aun que no me quita las ganas de leer su primera novela (en parte por que ya la tengo lol), peor en general lo sentí muy lento había muchas partes en las uqe sentí que no pasaba nada, supongo que se podría decir que era desarrollo de personaje, pero no s ela manera en la que la autora lo hiso no me convenció, odie a muchos personajes, pero a Izzy la ADOREEEEE, nada más me quedaría ver la serie, maybe y es mejor que la novela.

i hate white people. /hj
im a little sad about the ending.
Spoileri mean, how did mrs. richardson react to lexie being the one who had an abortion? what happened to izzy? how did pearl leaving affect trip? how does this affect how the family operates?

Every character in this book is an absolute mess and an idiot. Love that. Didn’t love the bits where the book treated sex as a completely mind and body altering event tho.

I finished Little Fires Everywhere in one day. It was engrossing - the twists and turns gave me whiplash at times - but also achingly beautiful, and I already know I'm going to have a hard time thinking about anything except Celeste Ng's characters for the next week or so. Some of them are really unlikeable - because they're irritating or childish or patronizing, or all three - but my chest hurts for them anyways because of how well their internal conflicts and complexity were written. I've never read a novel that left me hoping for better, more hopeful endings for characters I didn't even really like.

AHHHH i swear celeste ng is fucking amazing !!! i love the way she does family dynamics and how she manages to interlace all the different storylines and characters. its just so mind blowing to see how some of the issues can affect the characters and how they are motivated to do certain things. 

i can’t wait to start watching the tv series :))
