Celeste Ng does a fantastic job of bring every character to life and diving into the complexities of different relationships and conflicts.   These characters bring to life topics like race, adoption, and class divides.

1.0

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.

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.
