A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
5.0
I know there’s a lot of pain in this book, but there’s also so so so much love. Those moments of love is what makes me love this book so much. The friendship, the loyalty, the forgiveness and the unconditional love.
The only book that has ever made me cry. And I only cried at the parts that were beautiful and loving, not the trauma parts, those only numb me.
Honest, raw, dark, unfiltered. Beautifully written. Strong characters who you learn to love.
But also extreme and by the end it almost felt comedic by all the bad things that had happened. It was unnecessary to escalate all the trauma, almost a bit too repetitive and tacky.
And deep down I wished for a happy ending.
