5.0

It is difficult to rate this book because it seems more than a piece to just be critiqued. The connection to all characters and the pain, joy and grief you feel at every moment makes it feel personal, sometimes too personal. I have neve read anything like A Little Life and don’t know if there is anything that could ever compare but I will treasure this story forevermore.
