I went into this book not expecting anything special; I had gotten it at a yard sale last summer, and had simply glanced over the premise. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that I not only enjoyed the writing, but the plot was genuinely incredible and all of the characters were so intricately thought out. I found myself voicing my own opinions on matters in the plot out loud because this book was full of passion and fire. ABSOLUTELY a suggested read!

I was super excited to read this book with my bookclub because it had been so widely read and recommended both in print and through the TV show. However, I was surprised when I almost gave up on it entirely; glad I pushed through. The beginning is tough and I had a hard time not only figuring out who everyone was, but honestly even caring. It doesn't grab you immediately; the writing lulls you in and holds you there until you are thrust forward at the right time. Once the first little push happens, the story, characters, plot, all of it convenes down a Rollercoaster style path until you're literally breathless, finding ways to flip the pages, to read faster, to know more.

I came to this book after reading Everything I Never Told You about a year and a half prior and still not being able to stop thinking about how perfect it was. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to that one for me.

I didn't really care about any of the characters in this book, and they all were extremely frustrating. It's unfair, but it is really hard for me not to compare this book to EINTY because I found that to be a pretty perfect book. If they weren't by the same author, or if I had read this one first, I wonder if I would feel differently? Either way, this book for me, was only ok.

This was my second book of Celeste Ng’s and I found it lighter, faster and more enjoyable than the other - Everything I Never Told You. It was a good read on the disparity between having the ideals of a better and speaking the right words but not working that through in practice. I was left wanting the world to be right for most of the characters, but of course, it never ends that way is it’s not a utopia. Worth reading if you’re up for something quick and light between other things.
