Cuando vi las reseñas de este libro por primera vez, la mayoría se reducían a frases como "te cambia la vida" o "te destroza por completo". También escuché que la autora lo escribió intencionalmente tan duro para que la gente no pudiera terminarlo (cosa que no creo en absoluto).
No negaré que es una obra increíble, logra una narrativa que te envuelve a lo largo de sus mil páginas sin que te des cuenta, y la forma de escribir de Yanagihara es elocuente y hermosa. Sin embargo, también tengo claro que no es un libro para todo el público. Ahora que lo he terminado, solo puedo concluir que lo recomendaría con reservas, ya que no es una historia que todos puedan soportar debido a la exposición al trauma y a las difíciles realidades que Jude sobrevive. Creo que esta podría ser una de las primeras lecturas con 5 ⭐️ del año.

I know you had been hurt, but you're hurting your dearest people with your stubborn belief 😮💨
If anything, I like to watch how their friendship grow with times, drifting apart and closer again through decades of joy, sorrow, addiction, and passion. I admire the patient that Andy, Harold, Julia, and Willem own. And I aspire to travel as much as they are and to have Jude's cooking skill :)
