I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to this book because it was fantastic!

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a contemporary fiction novel following two families as their lives briefly overlap revealing secrets in the process. I really loved this book! It had characters that felt real and people to root for (as well as hate) and interesting subplots. I really liked how the author interweaved the present storyline with scenes from the past; I felt like it really added dimension to the characters and upped the stakes of the book. I’d highly recommend picking this up if you have the time.
