Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
3.0
This one is really getting to me. This is the second novel I have read by this author, and I continue to enjoy the writing and story telling - though it was an extremely difficult topic to read (major trigger warnings). I should have gathered that when the first line is "Lydia is dead".
The pressure that Lydia felt by her family, how they were all affected by her death, the actions that we take and how they are viewed by others...I'm a mother of 2 little ones and this novel gave me some enlightenment, as well provided some fears.
The heaviness of this novel is not something I enjoy - but don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic and insightful novel. But I think I will go to a lighter read next.
