Rating: 4/5 This book took my breath away. While not quite as good as Ng’s recent novel, Little Fires Everywhere, I took delight in breezing through this novel of family drama, deception, and assumptions. As Jeff O’Neil stated on The Book Riot Podcast about Ng’s work, this seems to fall into a suburban noir category.
