"I read Little Fires Everywhere in a single, breathless sitting." (Jodi Picoult)
“To say I love this book is an understatement. It’s a deep psychological mystery about the power of motherhood, the intensity of teenage love, and the danger of perfection. It moved me to tears.” (Reese Witherspoon)
“I am loving Little Fires Everywhere. Maybe my favorite novel I've read this year.” (John Green)
From the best-selling author of Everything I Never Told You, a riveting novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives.
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned - from the layout of the winding roads to the colors of the houses to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic artist and single mother - who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter, Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants - all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town - and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood - and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

I gave up....
This is the first book I reviewed poorly for a year. Unfortunately it just wasn’t for me. I didn’t finish it because I felt like it dragged on. I was about half way through when I thought, nothing has happened yet ! I feel nothing interesting was ever going to happen. I gave up.

An interesting novel of family dynamics
the characters were well-developed and in general avoided too many cliches. it was more of a novel about a woman's growing realization that she was deeply flawed, as opposed to her self image of perfection.

Fun romp
This is a soapy tale of complicated mother and daughter relationships. Easy to listen to and has a few good twists. I found it slow to start but got hooked eventually.

privilege and perfection
this book was interesting because we could learn about everybody's morals and how they felt about the situation and no one's way is right
