2.0

This book was just so awful and the reading experience incredibly draining. If you are looking to read A Little Life, which I personally would not recommend, I would strongly urge people to thoroughly explore the trigger warnings before picking up this book. While reading the book I became aware of some of the authors comments about mental health and therapy which I found extremely unsettling. It seemed some plot points were for the sake of being shocking or like they were intended to be seriously triggering. This book will stay with me for a long time and I’m certain I’ll never pick it up again
