A Little Life

7/1/2024 - a little more review.

I used to hype this book so much. It took me years to barely get over at least half the shit that happened in this book. I held Jude so much in my arms, that I reread it– I was afraid to lose sight of him. Because it's still true. “And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him.” these words are drilled into my fucking brain, I can't forget it. Just thinking about this book makes my heart break. At this point, I truly wish I hadn't read this book and didn't force myself to finish it, feel it, and be part of it. It's traumatizing and I stopped recommending this to people. Your life would be so much better without this book.

If you're in the mood to get your heart broken, here's the book for you. The pain felt so real that even if you're in a happy place, it will drag you to your forlorn hole and feel bad for the rest of the month. This is hands down the best book I've read this year.
