One sentence synopsis... ‘A Little Life' begins as a conventional postgrad New York ensemble but it quickly becomes evident Yanagihara has something much darker and unsettling in mind for her four unforgettable friends. .

Read it if you like... crying. Screaming at books. Simultaneously hating the author for putting her characters through this while also loving her for creating such an all-consuming story. Don't read it if you like happy endings. .

Dream casting... Robert Pattinson, Armie Hammer, or Garrett Hedlund as Willem Ragnarsson. John Boyega is the only JB. If anyone's read the book and has people in mind I'd love to know what you pictured.
