Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

3.0

Meh. Daughter dies. Family grieves. Family does what families do when grief strikes - they hurt each other. In addition, the third-person omniscient drove me a little batty because it jumped around a lot. The narrative goes back and forth from the time Lydia disappears (the opening line is "Lydia is dead.") and the time leading up to her disappearance. Father whines. Mother caves. Brother yells. The little sister was finally emerging as an interesting character about the time the book ended.
