“Little Fires Everywhere” by Celeste Ng
Published by Penguin Press
This is a family drama, with lots of drama. Essentially, every character has some form of
past and/or current drama they are dealing with. Some individually and some together with
others. The common theme across it all seems
to be choices made and their consequences.
Is there always a definite right and wrong or is there simply the grey
area in between? It makes you ponder what choice you would have made if in
their situation. I greatly enjoyed this one – loved both the storylines and the
characters. I just felt that at times it
was missing depth. Granted, I think when you have this many characters with
storylines, it’s harder to add depth without making the book too long and drawn
out.
Side note - I found it quite interesting that although
the book is told in 3rd person, the majority of the time the adults
(except Mia and Bebe) are referred to as Mr. or Mrs. rather than their first
names even though they have their own storylines.
Finished 1/8/25 – 4/5 stars
