Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, 297 pages.I think this was Ng's first book, not sure, too close to midnight to fact-check. Lydia is the middle child of Marilyn Walker and James Lee. Marilyn feels forced into her role of stay-at-home mom and puts all her hope in Lydia's academic success. As Lydia dies in an apparent suicide as the book opens, this was obviously not the best plan. The book moves backward and forward, exploring how Lydia's parents met, following her and her older brother in the events leading up to the tragedy, and showing how the family copes with the aftermath.
