Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
4.0
This is a novel about a Chinese American family living in 1970s small-town Ohio. Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue.
But when Lydia’s dead body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos.
Rating: 4/5
if you're looking for a quick read that will keep you on the edge of your seat while reading it, definitely pick up this book.
I enjoyed this book, but also didn't love it completely.
The writing style got confusing for me in terms of how it switched the characters point of views and changed from past to present without warning. It was easy to follow, but still caught me off guard.
This book was way beyond what I was first expecting when I checked it out, and branched out in so many directions as we follow the families' lives after and before the death of Lydia. The storytelling was amazing and I had so many suspicions about what actually happened to Lydia.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fast paced and suspenseful novels, you won't be disappointed!
