Amit sohase mondtam el by Celeste Ng

mrsrccockrell's review against another edition

4.0

This is the kind of book I would love to read with my AP Lit class. There is so much to unpack. The characters are full of depth and nuance. The relationships are messy and complicated yet still so full of love. The story is heartbreaking and beautiful. The literature teacher in me couldn’t stop making connections or thinking “this would be great to discuss in an open response essay on the AP exam.” And from a lit teacher, that’s just about the highest compliment I can give a book.
I didn’t rate it 5 stars because, to me, 5 stars is a high bar. It means I will *definitely* read the book again one day. And I’m just not sure this book qualifies for that rating from me. Unless I decide to teach it.

A sad and tragic story that doesn't end up with a clean conclusion, just like real life.

Loved the way the author speaks on many struggles and outside forces that play into each character, who are all trying their best with their limits and struggles.
