All I can say is that this book has changed me as a person, fundamentally. My life will forever be split into two: before I read A Little Life, and after. I have never loved characters more honestly, I have never ached for them more deeply. Their stories and relationships will haunt me indefinitely, and for that I am beyond grateful. Know that in reading this book, you must be willing to enter into a dark place, a beautiful, heartbreaking, raw, real, authentic, and often unbearable place, but that if you endure, you will come out the other side all the better for it. Good luck. 🤎
