A Little Life

Winner of The Kirkus Prize, A Man Booker Prize Finalist, and A National Book Award Finalist, A Little Life was named One of the Best Books of the Year. A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.

I love this IDGAF!!!! Interestingly, this felt very extreme horror-adjacent.

Soul wrenching. There aren't enough trigger warnings in the world for this book. Truly one of the saddest stories I've ever read. Also one of my favorites. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to feel deeply.

Amazing and heartbreaking read but reallllllly stretching it with the never-ending layers of grief. A really beautiful and tragic story but comes off feeling very self-indulgent and like a heavy dose of trauma-porn. :(
