Took a bit to get into and set the scene, but it easily picked me back up!

One-Sentence Summary: A wealthy family living in a rule-bound community is curious and obsessed with a struggling family who lives a freestyle life.
Shaker Heights seems like a hypocrite place to me. The residents seem to act charitable and try to be inclusive, or maybe that's what Elena thought about the residents in Shaker Heights. All those are not really coming from their hearts. They are just following the rules passing from generations to maintain their perfect images and reputations.
I guess the Richardsons are obsessed with someone different than them or probably anyone who is not living in Shaker Heights. Deep down, they want a certain level of freedom instead of binding to the principles and rules. At least a choice of making decisions.
Book Review: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.

I finished Little Fires Everywhere in one day. It was engrossing - the twists and turns gave me whiplash at times - but also achingly beautiful, and I already know I'm going to have a hard time thinking about anything except Celeste Ng's characters for the next week or so. Some of them are really unlikeable - because they're irritating or childish or patronizing, or all three - but my chest hurts for them anyways because of how well their internal conflicts and complexity were written. I've never read a novel that left me hoping for better, more hopeful endings for characters I didn't even really like.
