A review by danae
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

challenging dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

There were some beautiful parts, but ultimately this was hard to read and traumatizing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 

Edit: Fuck this awful book.
