I found myself wanting to read this book and figure out all of the character’s pasts. Something about this book that surprises me is that I’m not sure I liked any of the characters, but I liked how their stories were threaded together.

After watching the Hulu series twice, I decided to pick up the source material. It's just as good as the show. I see why Reese Witherspoon chose Little Fires Everywhere to be adapted into a TV series.

Graphic: Emotional abuse, Racism, Abortion, Cultural appropriation

Minor: Bullying

All CW topics are framed critically and seriously, difficult ones like racism, bullying and cultural appropiation are necessary for the plot and it's not hinted that they could ever be an acceptable thing to incur on them.
