A review by shoelessmama
Little Fires Everywhere, by Celeste Ng

4.0

I enjoyed this so much more than "Everything I Never Told You". My main gripe with EINTY was that I hated EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. The author could have overstepped the line with any of the characters in this book with the exception of Izzy and Mia, who she couldn't have ruined despite their flaws unless she had been untrue to their characters. She managed to make all of the other characters flawed with just enough redeeming qualities. As with her first book Ng starts with the climactic moment and then takes you back in time so that you can get to know the people intimately and understand more fully the outcome. I really enjoyed this technique in both books. Glad to have the characters back up the fascinating plot in her second effort.
