A Little Life

Wonderfully and beautifully, if not perfectly, written. Given the negativity around this book I was expecting a lot....more than what I got. While the ending is almost hilariously cruel, so is life. Life often makes me think that God proves His existence through His hate and our suffering. What I see is a bleak, fragment of a very real life, and a life that people have lived. And examples of very real sexualities, friendships, and relationships. People seem upset that the mains were not “gay”, or labeled. They were just human...and lived a life like humans do. And some people get abused, and some people get the short stick, and time does not heal all wounds.
