A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
5.0
To sum this book up in a few words: beautifully painful, antagonizing, and captivating. This is one those 'once in a lifetime books' you'll want to read once. It'll stick with you forever, and it's changed my perspective about others. I wish this book came with a coupon for kleenex. You'll need it if you choose to read this book.
For anyone who may be struggling with something mentally, suffered from physical abuse, trauma, addiction, or gets triggered very easily by self harm, or dehumanizing acts I strongly suggest looking up the list of triggers surrounding this book!
This book is over 700 pages long, and the density of the physical copy was overwhelming enough. I had to take multiple long breaks in between certain parts of the book before I could pick it back up again.
A Little Life is definitely one of those reads that will forever stick with me and I don’t regret reading it.
