Wow. This book was one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever read. The way everything was portrayed made me feel like I understood perfectly, and the issues discussed and represented were put into perspective. I loved this story, and it’s so so sad but makes you reflect on life. This is so lighthearted read- that’s for sure. It would’ve been a 4 star, but just wasn’t QUITE there but such a great story. (I come back to the review and change someday- I haven’t decided yet:))

Celeste Ng does an amazing job writing about trauma, racism, misogyny, and dysfunctional families. This gut-wrenching story of a teen girl's disappearance and death moves back and forth between before and after the tragedy and demonstrates how experiences from childhood can create generations of pain. The main story takes place in 1977 Ohio, but reaches back to China, California, Virginia, and Boston.
I found it a painful reading experience, especially the scenes with parents lashing out at their children, and the amount of secrets every single family member is carrying will break your heart. I am glad I read it for a book club because I need to discuss and process it with others.

a character study of grief and loss and how you can’t really know a person but that doesn’t mean they didn’t impact your life or that you didn’t love them.

This is a heavy book. The writing is exquisite, I love all the characters and their development throughout the book. If you come from a dysfunctional family, though, this one might hit you where it hurts. Especially for me the relationship between Nath and Lydia.

I did not know what to expect from this book, but overall it was a good read. It’s darker in nature than I normally go for. It’s more mystery based, but it keeps your attention.
