FR REVIEW :

I have heard so many good things about this book on booktube and have been wanting to read it for a while now. I picked this up when I was in the mood for literary fiction and I am pleased I finally got around to it. I saw the trailer featuring Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon as well. I don't know if I will ever get around to watching the movie, but I am so thrilled to finally talk about this book.

The story, the characters, and the writing were the best in this book. It was so captivating and engaging that I couldn't put it down. The characters were so realistic that I felt they were very real and flawed. All the characters made life choices that they thought were right and their reasonings and the ethical side of it will leave the readers with a lot of things to think about.

The characters were so realistic that I felt they were very real and flawed. All the characters made life choices that they thought were right and their reasonings and the ethical side of it will leave the readers with a lot of things to think about. The choices each character makes take them down a different path and shapes them as individuals. Their actions often will provide them with a learning experience. The story talks about the consequences of actions, the choices they make, and the path they take to move forward in life in a fascinating way. Often our decisions and choices will fall under gray area rather than a strict black or white scenario. I don't think any of the characters were plain good or evil, they all had elements of good and bad and thus making them layered, nuanced, and well-developed characters. I could understand their reasoning and their decisions and maybe the readers would have picked a different path if they had to choose. But I think I could see why they did what they did and empathize with their choices. The story was so fascinating and the characters study it provided was brilliantly done. The readers will have to come up with their own opinion when it comes to choosing sides and I just couldn't do it. I think this book will stay in my mind for some time. There were some powerful quotes in this book that will open up our minds to new possibilities and maybe help us be more open-minded rather than being judgmental and constricted in our thinking.

Little Fires Everywhere is a thought-provoking read that is bound to wow you with its realistic portrayal of incredibly flawed human characters. Their humanity stands out throughout the story and makes it for a wonderful character study. This book will make you think, open your minds, and leave you conflicted as to which side you want to stay on. I had an amazing time reading this book and I highly recommend checking it out. I gave it a high 4.5 stars. Go check it out if you haven't already. I promise you it is amazing if you love realistic, literary style books with a character-centric story.
