Sixteen-year-old Lydia Lee is dead, leaving her parents to reckon with the collective weight of her — and their — shattered dreams. This book broke me in a real and powerful way. Ng just speaks so truthfully to the secrets, love, longing, and lies built into the fabric of every family. Everything I Never Told You is both heartbreaking and beautiful, and sets the bar way high for debut writers and new literary fiction today.—Jazmine
