I'm still feeling pretty mixed about Little Fires Everywhere as I write this review. I enjoyed it, definitely so that means it gets 4 stars. I have a sort of love for slow moving books about family dynamics so that checked a lot of boxes for me.

There are some emotional situations in this book that really get you thinking and as a woman who hopes to adopt in the future, they really hit home. But I don't necessarily side with the adopters or the birth mothers in this book. This book shows a true emotional account about how these things are rarely black and white and I really appreciate it.

My one upset from this book? I wish we got some more of Izzy right at the end. But I do understand the emotional power of leaving the book with Mrs. Richardson and her thoughts about Izzy instead.
