Of course I loved this one. You fall in love with the characters over the course of their life and you grow with them. I would love to recommend this book to anyone and everyone, but because it's so heavy, I choose not to actually recommend. This is the one and only book thusfar to make me cry- because it's very sad, but also because I loved it so much.
Yanagihara has a way of writing that really clicks with my brain. The author writes in the way that I think and I immediately connected with it.
Overall, a great read, buckle up and emotionally prepare yourself, and then prepare yourself some more and it still won't be enough.
