LOVED IT. The various perspectives were amazing and it's incredible how easily you can empathize with every character.

I'm so enamored with the way that Ng folds the lives of each character within the lives of the other characters within the book.

kinda all over the place. had a bunch of loose ends and changed points of view without any warning so it was hard to tell who’s thoughts it was sometimes.

I wanted to like this book so badly, but I just could not get hooked. I kept getting confused as I was keeping up with the characters at the beginning. Maybe I'll try again when I feel like I can focus more.

I can't coherently write about what I loved because I'm still so rattled by it. What an amazing book.
