Fuck capitalism, fuck white supremacy, fuck the police. Incredibly rewarding read, even if it’s excruciatingly painful sometimes.

Regardless of all the trigger warnings, it's all purposeful and real. it's not torture porn, it's telling what could have been or is a queer person's very real life growing up in the mid-20th century

This book is so beautiful. I sobbed through most of it, happy and sad. It’s such a landmark piece that will give you a lot of unanswerable questions and thoughts to ponder. It’s everything A Little Life wishes it could be. God. 

Read for Queer Writing (but will be read over and over again for myself).
