- Twitter summary: A mother-daughter duo come to a perfectly planned town and influence every member of the Richardson household.
- The good: This is my second* time reading the book, with this time for my work book club, and again, I was beyond engrossed in the book. Ng tells a marvelous tale layering in plot lines for each member of the Richardson family. There are little hints everywhere (haha) as the story beautifully develops.
- The bad: Sometimes the town eerily made me think about the too-perfect place where horror movies are filmed…
- Favourite character: Izzie — right from the start of the book, she captured my attention because she doesn’t fit the Richardson or the town’s mold. Mia is a close second.
- Recommendation: Yes and now I will watch the Hulu miniseries!
- Overall rating: 5/5 little fires
