I read Everything I Never Told You by author Ng last year and was blown away by the complex characters and compelling storyline. Little Fires Everywhere was no different. One of my biggest draws to a story is realistic characters. I love truly understanding and engaging with people, seeing their motives and flaws and fears. This is where Ng truly excels, and why I love her work so much. Little Fires Everywhere deals with some difficult topics but never demonizes specific individuals, rather sharing why they think the way they think in a writing style and timeline that allows each character and situation the space to be fully explored.
Moderate: Abortion, Sexual content, and Miscarriage
