sadmermaid 's review for:

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
4.5
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

even tho i didn’t like the explicit scenes that i just felt like there were there for the morbo, this book was really a masterpiece. 

i really felt for all the characters until the end. the main ones and the secondary felt equally important. the storytelling and how this book is written is just majestic. i know i’ll be thinking about this for a long time. still tho i do think some descriptions were unnecessary excessive when they shouldn’t had been. 

jude, willem, malcom, jb, harold, julia, adam, richard are characters that forever will have a place in my heart.
