Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere
Ah, the sheer relief of rereading a book for book club and finding it just as excellent as the first time you read it. It was funny to read another book set in the 90s just after reading Sunburn, but Ng's centering of her story in that specific time and place feels a lot more effortless for some reason. Everything about this is rock solid: the characterizations; the compelling, intertwined plot; the writing itself. And what a perfect portrayal of microagressions and clueless white privilege! And complicated families! Just an excellent book.
