A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara

Pickpick

Emotionally brutal!!!! This book has the distinction of being the ONLY book that has brought me to tears. I will note that the author has a penchant for run-on sentences and it gets repetitive. But maybe that repetitiveness is what drives home the despair. Pick it up at you own peril!
I am off to read something light and fluffy

Finally going to do it!

christineandbooks I have heard many good things about this book and just today read an article about perfect book choices for the various MBTI personality types and this was the book for my type. But between the cover (which I dislike) and reports of how emotionally challenging it is to read, I don't know if I can do it. I am interested to hear what you think! 8y
tbreit I started it too! What is your type? Curious if we match 8y

Sad to say- I ended up abandoning it. I liked "The Round House", but wasn't feeling this one.
