A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
5.0
What an epic read this was.
I don’t want to give too much away, but it is a beautiful, realistic look into friendships and human brokenness, the traumatic secrets we keep, the uphill battle to recovery, the beauty of love and how we allow our demons to take those who care for us for granted.
It’s an absolute beast of a story; you really feel for the characters and you cant help but feel a little bit nostalgic about your own friendships and support bubble.
It is definitely beautiful, if a bit disturbing, but absolutely more human than any others I’ve read this year so far. Take time to read this one. And maybe in our own little lives we could see where we need to lend a hand.
