Celeste Ng, for me, is an author who always, always sticks the landing of her books’ conclusions and themes. It was a bit of a slow start, and I wasn’t totally into the book the entire time, but Ng really follows through: there was a moment at the end of the book where I found myself thinking it’s about the choice!!!
Of course, at times this book feels a bit heavy-handed because I am living through much of what inspired this book, but at the same time it does feel particularly useful in the context of my own struggles with feeling extremely powerless with my country’s determination to be a shitshow.
