so ive just gotten to the part where… um… they talked abt jude’s childhood, and mentioned brother luke.
of course, ive already gotten that feeling that it was um… yk… especially when they mentioned brother luke brought him to the green house and there was a line that said he hadn’t cried until what happened with brother luke and then it moves to another part of the story but ive just made a mistake by looking it up bc it really did seem like they were hinting as to what happened and before ive even read what actually happened im literally….. already…. mortified….
now i get why people do end up traumatized over this book, people on tiktok will make jokes about it, its just another sad book, and im not saying the writing is lacking in any way but if im honest it was somewhat boring at first but the way people describe it makes it seem as if its something so insignificant IDK im not good with words and this is honestly just a rant im just so 😭😭😭😭 im preparing myself to read the next part….

Okay I read A Little Life last year and I had the book on the shelf for two years before picking it up to read. I never found the book boring, but in some of the sad parts during the beginning of the book I did not cry. I thought they were sad, but not enough to cry over. BUT as the book goes on and the journey through out their lives goes on it gets very sad. I got attached to the characters. Once I finished the book I sobbed for 20 minutes. It’s a beautiful book. It has become my favorite book just for how raw and real the story is. I know some parts of the book are slow, but I promise it’s worth the read.
Its brutal but beautiful
