Little Fires Everywhere (Reese’s Book Club)
Did you read the book or watch the show on Hulu first? In Little Fires Everywhere, by Celeste Ng, is set in the late ’90s and follows the story of two families divided by race and class. The book couldn’t be more timely in today’s society. I enjoyed the opening (a total hook), and the story puts you in the shoes of different families…. pushing you to think out of your comfort zone. Find it on Amazon here.
