A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

never been so connected and in love with characters in a book, never once have i cried about a book or its ending until a little life. i found myself thinking about jude and willem all the time, i feel like i have seen their whole lives, i know them. heartbroken by this book, it was incredible.
