3.5

dark emotional informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this book kind of felt like a kdrama or a telenovella with some of the themes and characters, but it wasn't unserious and over dramatic like most of them are

overall i liked it, the writing was great! the author lets you think about the subjects brought up in the story without divulging her own answers or opinions

i would have liked for some of the relationships in this novel to go deeper, or to learn more about the characters, some of them were very well developped on the page while others not as much. but at the same time i understand why it was like that so idk

maybe a sequel about izzy would be fun to read

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.

I enjoyed the themes of motherhood/class/race that plainly interacted in all the characters lives, whether they were aware or not. Felt like the fire didn’t tie into the story as much as I would have thought.
