however, PLEASE inform yourselves of ALL trigger warnings and, if necessary, please check the spoilers for each trigger warning. i read this book knowing what i was going in for, but i cannot put into words how incredibly graphic and triggering this book was.
nonetheless, it was a beautifully sad story.

i love this book. this book is my baby. if this book was a person i don't think i'd marry it but i'd give it a big hug though. i love everything about this book and yanagihara's writing style in general, her books are so so long don't get me wrong but everything builds up and in my opinion every last page was worth reading. but please for the love of god read the trigger warnings before reading lol this shit is literally THE challenging book
4th read:
this book got me fucked up tbh. teared up at several parts on the book. i love everything about it, the writing, the characters. genuinely my favorite book of all time, its so dear to me for so many reasons
