Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng is an equally mysterious and devastating book. It explores the complexity of love, grief, and racial identity. The book begins with the protagonist stating that she is dead and it follows the story of how her family finds out about her death and how they deal with it. The novel analyzes the pasts of all of the protagonist’s family members and how they felt about the protagonist. The characters and the reader also don’t know how the protagonist died so the reader and the characters simultaneously put the pieces of her death together.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartfelt but also exciting book. I would say this is one of the best books I have read because of the way it is such a page-turner but also made me feel a variety of emotions. This book reminds me of the book Lovely Bones so if you’ve read that book and liked it, you will probably like Everything I Never Told You.
