Little Fires Everywhere - Celeste Ng

Okay, so I'm "medicated" right now and hormonal as Hell. This should be fun.

 

Pros: well paced and in a unique town

 

Cons: I. Hate. Everyone. In. This. Book.

 

Every character was a cookie cutter walking stereotype. And the plot was so damn obvious I had it figured out about a quarter of the way thru. The only character I felt really bad for was the baby. My god. Insufferable petty white-people bullshit. And I'm white. I felt second-hand shame for these people. What was supposed to be political statements came off as just plain racist because of the blatant cliche of it all. 

 

But I had to finish this shit because I wanted to see how many things I had guessed right. The tally? All of them. Lord help me.
