Little Fires Everywhere

While I ultimately enjoyed this book, I found it a little light on substance–more of a young adult novel than serious literature. (The focus of the book is really on the experiences of a group of high school students, although it does go somewhat beyond them.) Also, I was troubled by what appears to be an anti-adoption message, especially cross-racial adoptions. Is Ng saying that white couples shouldn't be adopting Asian babies? I'm glad I read the book, and I thought the story was told well, but there is this lingering doubt in my mind.
