This is the most beautiful writing I've ever read in my entire life. Hands down. For how dense and dark this book it I flew through it because I cared about the characters so much and I couldn't stop reading the writing. You follow 4 college friends in NYC through all their perspectives, but mainly through one. Non-linear timeline. The main character acts in self harm frequently and it is very graphic.
