So, I’ve never read anything in this particular genre before, and I’d heard that A Little Life was a “controversial” book, but still considered a modern classic by some.
As someone who has never had any problems consuming media that depicts trauma or struggles in life, I thought: it can’t be as bad as everyone says, right… RIGHT??
No, but for real, I’m approximately 350 pages in and have decided that I need a longer break. Maybe I’ll read something else in between. I just can’t continue this story. It has taken me three weeks to get this far because I dread reading the book for more than 10 minutes before I get pissed off, angry, or sad.
For those of you who have read A Little Life, did you also need a break? 😅
Or how did you pull through?
