A Little Life A Novel

Have you heard of this a little life?

I read half of it, I think.

Oh, it's a beautiful book.

I didn't finish because then I moved it to my audiobook and I am not good at audiobook, so I stopped.

Well, I just know that people warn each other about it. It's intense. You're gonna cry.

The last book I tried to read was 'A Little Life'.

And it's kind of about like, it's sort of like a coming of age. It doesn't take place in any specific time, but it's about, are they gay? I think it's the 90s. A couple of them are gay.

It's a group of friends and one of them has like sort of like a debilitating chronic pain. And it's just a really emotional book.

And I realized like, as I've gotten older, I've gotten much more sensitive when things affect me. And so like when the book got a little thick, I had to put it away because it was driving me like, I'm very sensitive.

Is it sad that book? So sad.
