This book was well written, but I can’t rate it any higher than 3.5 stars because it was far too dark for me, and I’m someone who loved A Little Life. This book was a study in human misery and all the ways humans are terrible to each other. There was so little joy in the moments of these characters’ lives, it made me incredibly sad. This was not the book for me.
