The first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe Celeste Ng’s, Everything I Never Told You is simply, it’s one of the best books that I have read in 2014. Celeste crafts a beautiful story about the interplay between family and culture. Each character feels very real; it’s as if you know these characters in your own life. And, even though the story is set in the past, it all feels as if it could happen now, in 2014.
