I have really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were interesting and well drawn and the plot threw up ethical questions of what makes someone a parent,  interracial adoption, privilege & class, our right to judge others and finding the right place in the world. At times it seemed Mia was a little too perfect in guessing what teenagers want and need but she's an interesting character. All the other characters are as well and the family dynamics were well drawn

So I had heard so many good things about this book and the show, and when I found a copy in a little free library I brought it home. I gave the book 100ish pages to pull me in and I just didn’t care about any of the characters or the story while reading.

Perhaps I’ll watch the show, because maybe it will be more enjoyable to me then. But I’ll put this book back into a little free library for someone else to read and possibly be their new favorite book.

Such a beautiful story. This was my first Celeste Ng read and won't be the last. Each character felt so distinct and believable. It feels like there is a character for every reader to relate to, no matter your age or place in life. 

I appreciate the theme of carrying on despite trauma. This book felt hopeful despite real sad stuff happening.
