Hi Celeste ! I like your book so much. I am just curious about one thing. Why didn't Hannah have an important role in the book? She was my favourite character and she clearly knew a lot that was going on and it would've been amazing if she was the one who could bring the family together. Like solving the enigma that Lydia left behind. Anyway I really enjoyed reading this book and thank you for your hard work !

Hi. I just finished Little Fires Everywhere and absolutely loved every word of it. Congratulations on creating such a compelling and timely story. I noticed as I was reading it that the Richardsons and McColloughs were referred to as Mr. and Mrs. rather than by their first names, while Mia, Bebe and the children were all referred to by their first names. I assumed that this was to show the class distinctions?

Hi Celeste! I just finished your book and loved it!! Beautiful writing. Very poignant. I was struck by your use of verb tense in the book. Very masterfully handled - could have been a train wreck in a less talented writer's hands. It was also very effective. What made you choose the different verb tenses in the book as a writing device?
