A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara truly is an amazing novel. The beginning is slow so you need to be patient with it. However the development of characters and who they are as individuals truly encapsulates an image of a real person. The depth and details of the main character Jude made me feel like he was a dear friend of mine. A long read, but one that will tear at your heart strings, and will definitely make you cry.
