Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

BATB score: 4/10 🔥

A novel written in 2017 and blasted to fame by Hulu TV mini series in 2020 starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington (who won shitload of award from this blaze). IMDB score 7.7/10 🔥 #dayum

Best to: the mini-series did add a lot of it's own dramatic sparks and plot twistie flames to Celeste Ng's core ignition; to be honest, I bet the mini-series made the novel more juicy

Best for: simple writing novel evangelist; you know how there are many novel authors whose unique way of writing makes an imprint in itself? Khalid Hosseini conveying sadness and pain. Murakami conveying figurative complexity. Celeste Ng conveying pretty much petty face value.

Best as: melodrama pastime

The only quotable passage: “Sometimes you need to scorch everything to the ground and start over. After the burning the soil is richer, and new things can grow. People are like that, too. They start over. They find a way.”
