The trigger warnings for this book are not to be taken lightly, abuse, self harm, suicide and drug use to name a few.
Having said that this is the most beautiful, melancholic story I've ever read. The characters feel like friends, the places feel like places I've really known, and the writing flowed like poetry and was utterly beautiful. Hanya Yanagihara writes in a way that makes you forget you're reading.
