  I sat down and read 'Everything I Never Told You' in one sitting. An exceptionally well written novel about family ties and how our attitudes/ behavior affect each other. Highly recommend for single- sitting read. Its just 296~pages so very doable. Superb read!

  I loved how the writer shed light on what goes inside the children's minds.
  for me, it felt like so many pages were just repetitive of the same information.
  other than that it kind of an eye opener on what affects our children and how parents actions have a huge impact on their children's lives that would lead to many mental issues that would sadly sometimes end in suicide or just wrong decisions.

  Revealing and Gripping: Ng deftly moves between time in this heartfelt and expertly crafted debut novel offering the reader a poignant portrayal of the injurious nature of imposing expectations on another and discrimination based on race. Indeed, we’re all different and can damage others in ways never imagined. I read Little Fires Everywhere a while ago. Wish I’d read Ng’s first novel sooner!

  I liked this book. I enjoyed how it was about the family but also a mystery of what happened to their daughter. Though the book revolves around Lydia, we only get to see her perspective a few times. I think this really shows how the theme of the book is everything thinking for Lydia, and only rarely does anyone understand her.

  DON’T BOTHER! Everything I never told you. It should be titled… I’ll never get back the time I wasted reading this book. Easily forgettable characters. I finished it and I was annoyed that I wasted my time reading it.

  Everything I Never Told You was a quick 2 day read. It kept me engaged throughout, but i confess I found the ending disappointing. To be fair, it was a perfectly appropriate ending, i was just left wanting more closure.
  Will move on to Fires now, my third Celeste Ng book.

  I wanted to love it but it just didn’t really do it for me. I liked Mia and Pearl but couldn’t really warm to any of the other characters. Didn’t inspire me to watch the tv adaptation either.

  Both excellent books. Her characters are believable and reflect bigger issues. I'd put her in the same category as Tom Perrotta and Miriam Toews.

  I had high hopes for this book. I enjoyed the back story about Marilyn and James Lee. I was very interested in finding out who killed Lydia. But it was pretty lackluster.

  I loved the beginning to the middle but after that it turned uninteresting and I found myself skipping words more and more. The end was uneventful and nothing like the beginning. Fell flat for me

  A book to be read by all parents. Sad but full of wisdom novel about love, family, education, life purpose.
