Here at The Lit Bitch we are celebrating the paperback release of Celeste Ng’s best selling novel EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU!

Celeste Ng is a rising star in the literary world. Her debut novel, EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU, published last year to widespread acclaim among critics and readers, was named a New York Times Book Review Notable Book and Amazon’s #1 Best Book of 2014, and is an Alex Award winner.

Now available in paperback from Penguin, EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU has been an instant bestseller, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for five weeks and counting.
