I cannot say enough about this book. As someone with anxiety and a little depression every once in awhile, this book speaks to me.

I love books with all kinds of different perspectives. This one is video game related and grief related. Its a great read.

Heartbreaking. But truly truly eye opening. I think about Jude all the time. Tanya Yanagihara can sometimes be questionable but is that just the discomfort? She has two to three other amazing books.
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

This was definitely the hardest book in the series to read. I'm not big into trains and stuff. But the ending will have you in tears. Team building and loyalty to others 🥹
