Oof. This was a heavy read. The content is very dark and I found the family dynamics hard to read about as I just felt so awful for the kids. Really goes to show the trickle-down effects of parents not dealing with their own issues and then putting said issues on their children. VERY sad read but extremely beautiful writing. I’m excited to read more by Celeste Ng.

From the jump, I knew that this was going to be rough to get through because so much of Lydia's thoughts mirrored my own as a teenager. The writing was gorgeous and moving and so easy to relate to. I loved how much I got to see from every character's perspective and how flawed they all are.

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.
