A review by ambivalent
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

the writing was so beautiful and the story was so immersive and flowed very easily. not going to lie i was kind of losing it at the initial descriptions of shaker heights. i recognize that same sort of privileged liberalism/"our community doesn't see race" in my own town which also has been grappling with a series of racist incidents over the past 2-3 years... celeste ng writes so vividly and conveys the concerns of each character so carefully. the reflections on motherhood and the questions it tries to bring up are so interesting to read.
