EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU: Celeste Ng
EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU
by Celeste Ng
This gem of a book reveals layer after layer of intimate family life, demonstrating how what we always thought we knew, but never said, can be utterly wrong. This beautifully crafted debut novel is, at its heart, a mystery thriller. Sixteen year-old Lydia is dead. Her mother finds her diaries, of which there is nothing but pages and pages of empty lines. I couldn't put this book down in over three days of reading. Actually I lie, I did stop. Several times in fact. To weep for Lydia, for Nath, for Hannah and for Jack.
