Review: A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

June 7, 2020.Reading time 13 minutes.

5/5 ☕ | A Little Life is a brilliant study of human emotions and how complex trauma can have lasting effects in one’s later life. I am a fan of books that elicit strong emotions from a reader, whether intentionally or not, and this book definitely delivered on that front.
