After finishing Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere, we - Jamae and Steven - watch the Hulu series. In this special episode, we discuss how the show brings a more complex and nuanced focus on the characters. The show also presents different events from the book while keeping the same spirit. This is a re-watch for us both, yet we were still captivated by the story all over again. Find us on Instagram @⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AsianBookClubPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AsianBookClubPod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
