Amazing. Absolutely amazing. A literary masterpiece of the modern era. A harrowing story about a cataclysm of grief and tragedy, and the quiet resilience that precipitates at the bottom of heartbreak.

I loved this book from beginning to end, Celeste Ng really knows how to put words on a page and paint a picture of a small town family with real struggles. Even if you can't personally relate to the characters, they are written in such a way that makes you love and hate them at the same time.

2.0

The characters are unlikeable with zero redeeming qualities, there's so much abuse and trauma being inflicted that was triggering for me, and in the end it feels like there's no real resolution and no accountability for what these people did to one another.
