A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is definitely not one of my usual selections. But it is, without question, one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read. The way Hanya Yanagihara captures despair, grief, tragedy, and pure, raw emotion is absolutely fascinating. Her writing is immersive and deeply affecting in a way that lingers long after you’ve put the book down.
That said, I strongly recommend reading trigger warnings before picking up this title. It is incredibly heavy and emotionally intense.
It’s also a very lengthy book—I can’t tell you how many times I dropped my phone on my face or knocked my glasses off while falling asleep reading it. I definitely missed having a paperback in my hands for this one.
I look forward to reading more of Yanagihara’s work because her talent is undeniable, though I would personally prefer different storylines in the future.
