I loved this book a lot (just like every other book Celeste Ng writes).

Her writing is amazing and I will continue to read everything she has ever written and will write. 
The story itself was also beautiful. It was a little bit hard to get into and in the beginning I felt a little distant from the book, but I flew trough the last 150 pages. 

Tip: read the author’s note, there’s some interesting information about what influenced her to write the book;)
