Review: Little Fires Everywhere

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I purchased this book at Kew & Willow, using the gift card from my siblings-in-law. I had seen this book in a lot of places, but I decided to read it because this was one of the books the school where I formerly taught considered for their high school summer read. The students ended up choosing The Hate U Give. I think that's a better choice for a high school summer read, but I enjoyed this book more.

This book is about mothers and daughters, which is definitely a topic close to my heart. It's also one of those books where you know some of how the story ends at the beginning of the book, which I like. But until I started reading the book, I had no idea what this book would be about, and I was definitely pleasantly surprised, especially after the not that interesting start. My mind drifted during that introductory description of Shaker.

A random note: I had seen this cover all over, but mostly from a distance and never carefully, so I always thought that they were leaves of a plant. I finally actually looked at it to see that it's a street-scape.
