Too many sub plots going on that I felt like there really wasn’t a plot? There certainly was no plot twist for me. I would have been fine DNFing

A well written and thought provoking story that explores topics of privilege, race, family, and motherhood. The setting was strikingly accurate even in its littlest details, myself having grown up around the same real places in the Cleveland area. The various characters and their stories are interesting & compelling while still easy to keep track of, written in a seemingly effortless way while taking a few unexpected turns. The ending wrapped up a tad too quickly for me, but overall another great book by Ng that I just couldn't put down.

this book is so intriguing and thought provoking! I spent any free time I had reading because I really couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I devoured Little Fires Everywhere.
There are so many characters and inter woven storylines. It wasn’t hard to keep track and all of them were interesting.
I enjoyed how the author broached topics like motherhood, relationships, adoption, surrogacy, abortion, racism, and a seemingly utopian society. All of this while still keeping the characters and their stories engaging.
The metaphorical writing! Using elements of nature or just about anything to describe the emotions of the characters was wonderful to read.
It’s a little slow in the beginning but once you get to the know the characters and the plot picks up, it’s completely worth the wait. I’m so happy I grabbed this book from a Little Free Library!
