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.

been a while since i actually finished reading this, but it deserved an actual review i think.
it physically hurt to read this book — my stomach was in knots reading some of these - very familiar, very real - scenes; i’ve lived through those scenes.

the only reason i was somewhat reluctant to give this five stars is because the ending felt slightly rushed, perhaps Ng intended it to be that way (have it be ambiguous and all). it was all left pretty open-ended and ambiguous which i don’t hate, but i still felt as though there could’ve been a tiny bit more development.
all in all, a book i really appreciate.

I did not know what to expect from this book, but overall it was a good read. It’s darker in nature than I normally go for. It’s more mystery based, but it keeps your attention.
