Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
4.0
i don't know how celeste ng was able to write so many different perspectives at once so poignantly and accurately. each character has a unique voice and the relationship dynamics between each member of the family felt so real.
the relationships between the siblings was especially meaningful to me. there is something about growing up with siblings that is difficult to capture. oftentimes they are the only ones who can understand the specific circumstances of your family, and ng was able to perfectly encapsulate that feeling in a way that wasn't "in-your-face" the way a lot of sibling dynamics in other media is.
i wish there was more of jack, but that's just because he's my favorite and it's definitely no fault of the book.
