A Little Life

“A Little Life” is easily one of the most scarring and depressing books I have ever read.

It deserves every trigger warning one can conjure up.

Yet, the writing is beautiful. I ended up devouring this book (only took a break when I had to go to work).

One insignificant issue I have with this book is on its marketing, it is sold as a story about 4 friends (Jude, Willem, Malcolm and JB) and how their friendship has evolved through the decades.
But honestly, it is only about 2 friends (Jude and Willem) and we, as readers, rarely get to experience Malcolm's and JB's pov.
