first off totally 100% respect anyone who hated this
i feel like i would have if i hadnt skim read a lot of the bits of jude hating himself
A lot of the time it seemed like Yanagihara had found cool metaphors for jude hating himself and was just excited to use them
but there was also some relatable stuff (right??? other people thought that too right???) like 'He had never done it before and so he didnt know how sad and slow and difficult it was to end a friendship' OOF that was the bit that made me cry the most, as well of some other bits about like friendships and stuff and wanting to help someone/talk to them about something but not and being stressed to cause you love them and want to keep them safe but you dont want to cross their barriers :'(
I didnt really sob? like i knew jude was gonna die before i even met him and suspect willem for about 150 pgs before
did shed a couple tears at harold and julia listening to judes cd and harold talking to the painting of Willem
