Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a fiction novel about a mother and daughter, Mia and Pearl, who move into Shaker Heights, Ohio. They meet the Richardson family and soon they are entangled in drama. Later on, a new family(the McCulloughs) are introduced and they are adopting a Chinese baby. However, conflicts arise as the biological mother is revealed and a fight for custody begins.
I enjoyed reading this book because it was so unique and dramatic. There were so many little stories going on and that just added to the interesting aspects of the novel. However, I didn’t like that a little too much was going on and some short stories were let go. Overall, it was a great book and I would recommend it to kids ages 14-16.
