I really enjoyed this one. Captured my attention right from the start, and I appreciated the discussions of class, race, and motherhood. Will definitely pick up more Celeste Ng in future.

• 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!

for a book that I had high expectations for this, unfortunately, did not deliver. if I envision the word mundane, this book would pop up.  I'm sad this didn't leave the impression on me that it did to most.
