Drink a Book

In our first happy hour episode, we discuss Little Fires Everywhere by Celest Ng. We chat about the book’s character development, plot complexity, social justice lens, open-ended closing, and more! We also have some thoughts about the setting of Shaker Heights, which is local for us northeast Ohioans!  

*Please note that this episode was recorded in September 2020, which is several months later than some of our upcoming full-length episodes that reference the book Little Fires Everywhere.
