Bruce Kirkpatrick rated a book it was amazing Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
For an author who tells you the ending in the first chapter, this book kept me engaged. Just the little story of two families in 1980s Shaker Heights, Ohio, but Ng sure can write characters, situations, and interactions to enliven her work.
