Hey everyone,
I finished A Little Life a few weeks ago and honestly, I haven’t been the same since. I know it’s kind of a “love it or hate it” book, but for me, it hit so deep. I kept having to put it down just to breathe, and when I wasn’t reading it, I was still thinking about Jude and the way his pain just sits with you. It wasn’t just sad—it felt almost too real at times.
Now I feel kinda lost, like no other book will hit me like that again. I’m not looking for something exactly the same, but I’d love to hear if anyone’s read something that stayed with them that way—where the characters felt like real people and you felt a little broken after finishing it. What’s the one book that completely wrecked you in the best (or worst) way?
