Little Fires Everywhere

A fun read... just not for me.

Not as much of a thriller/mystery as I was hoping, but still a super enjoyable and fast paced (to a fault) read. The story is almost begging for a hundred or so more pages in the middle to develop the relationships and characters more. The best parts of the book are the reflections on motherhood, and specifically what makes a “mother.” Unfortunately a lot of the novel's best bits revolve around themes that don't particularly resonate with me as a reader. I could see this being a 4-star read for so, so many people.
