Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
4.25
emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

At certain points, the message of the book is too on the nose. It felt like I was shoved into realizing what it is. As someone who is more into subtleties, it kinda threw me off. Apart from that, I do think Celeste Ng did such an awfully wonderful job in portraying the almost-stereotypical characters. Such a good way of delivering a social commentary on various issues.
