this book was like a car crash in that i couldn’t pull my attention away. so graphic and dark, devastating at times, but still worth a read (or a listen)

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.

it felt like suffering for the sake of suffering - trauma porn. i didn’t feel like i was getting anything else out of it after seeing the characters suffer so much with little plot to follow i decided to give up
