This book really surprised me. It’s quite mysterious and not at all what I expected! It begins with the end of the book and then goes through the storyline. Lots of twists and turns! At first it was a little complicated to keep up with all the characters and their stories, but I finally understood the differences after several chapters.

this book is so intriguing and thought provoking! I spent any free time I had reading because I really couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I devoured Little Fires Everywhere.
There are so many characters and inter woven storylines. It wasn’t hard to keep track and all of them were interesting.
I enjoyed how the author broached topics like motherhood, relationships, adoption, surrogacy, abortion, racism, and a seemingly utopian society. All of this while still keeping the characters and their stories engaging.
The metaphorical writing! Using elements of nature or just about anything to describe the emotions of the characters was wonderful to read.
It’s a little slow in the beginning but once you get to the know the characters and the plot picks up, it’s completely worth the wait. I’m so happy I grabbed this book from a Little Free Library!

I read Everything I Never Told You by author Ng last year and was blown away by the complex characters and compelling storyline. Little Fires Everywhere was no different. One of my biggest draws to a story is realistic characters. I love truly understanding and engaging with people, seeing their motives and flaws and fears. This is where Ng truly excels, and why I love her work so much. Little Fires Everywhere deals with some difficult topics but never demonizes specific individuals, rather sharing why they think the way they think in a writing style and timeline that allows each character and situation the space to be fully explored.

Immediately after finishing this book, I could tell that it would be one that would stick with me for a while. It was almost a five-star-read for me (I can’t say why it wasn’t, or else I’d spoil the book). It was entertaining and thought-provoking, and I’m sad that it’s over.
