Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
The way the book was written was really difficult to follow. Going back and forth through time in the middle of paragraphs, including going back in time from being back in time already. Weird tangents that went on for pages at a time and suddenly returned to the current events with no warning.
