A Little Life
by Hanya Yanagihara
challenging
dark
emotional
sad
tense
slow-paced
Just absolutely ** devastating. This book is hated on a lot (& I see where they're coming from) & for the majority of the book I was thinking that I should be bored but I just could not put it down. I have never felt so sad for a character as I have for Jude & something about the fly on the wall perspective that you take on as the reader just made the characters feel so real in a way that I hadn't encountered before in my reads. It is a very very tough read & I definitely had to take several breaks from reading before I finished but I will never forget this book & it sits on my shelf of favorite reads.
