OverBOOKed to Read: Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

A well-crafted debut novel featuring a moving story of family, history, and the meaning of home, which takes place in the 1970s, following a Chinese-American family living in a small town in Ohio. Lydia, the favorite child, endures pressure from her parents to become a doctor and be popular in school. Unfortunately, Lydia is found dead, and her death sends the family dynamic into chaos. They are forced to confront secrets that have been pulling the family apart. Both a page-turner and an exploration of a fragile family dynamic, this novel uncovers the ways families struggle to understand one another.
