A review by elisabeth7291
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

2.0

I didn't like Ng's first book - Everything I Never Told You - but I decided to give this one a try because I heard it was better. For me, not so.

I think I'm suffering from books like this that are really just contemporary fiction being touted as literary & it isn't. Characters are flat, plot is predictable (and politically slanted) and the metaphors are blatant. There were also some style things that drove me nuts like the adult characters referring to themselves and each other as 'Mrs. X' & 'Mrs. Y.'

Not for me.
