Everything I Never Told You

If we are using the old system I’d give this 5/5 stars. I thought the book was easy to read and that the incoming class could relate to the characters. The story is about loss and grief (the book opens with the line “Lydia is dead”), but also about secrets that family members keep from each other. Ng does a nice job writing about family dynamics among the siblings and even the way the parents act/interact with each child.

 

LSEM classes could unpack plenty with this particular book. While some parts are a little slow, overall I think this one has potential.
