Not my favorite of this author's books as I found the "little did she know" hints to be annoying but I did like the character development. Sad, and trying to be reflective, but mostly just sad.

Celeste Ng does not disappoint. I read Little Fires Everywhere last year and i loved it. this book was so full of beautiful moments that gave insight into the minds of parents and children. each of the siblings had such a unique outlook in life and a well developed relationship with each other as well. i loved this book a lot <3
