A Little Life

When I first heard about this book, I knew a lot of people were crying while reading it or simply feeling overwhelmed by Jude's fate. And this was the main reason for me to read it.

It was a long read for me. However I was enjoying it a lot. I loved the way author described emotions and main characters' experiences (both good and bad). While finding out more and more about each aspect of Jude's life story, I was surprised I haven't cried at all. I was scared, I was angry. But no tears... Not how I expected it to be. And when I prepared for the book to be mentally challenging and nothing more, I couldn't even imagine it would make me cry at the very end.

The relationship between Harold and Jude. That's what made me cry and think about the warmth you can get from a parent who truly loves you. I could barely read the last chapter because of the tears in my eyes. The way Harold was describing how “fragile” Jude was, how he saw a kid in him, how he missed everything about him... Still sobbing.
