I can’t stand those “and then another terrible, and then ANOTHER TERRIBLE THING, AND THEN ANOTHER TERRIBLE THING” books, they’re so dull and unrealistic

horrible book. aside from the trauma porn of it all, I was laughing my ass off at him being a lawyer singer mathematician pastry chef with 0 flaws

My biggest criticism is the whole "sometimes suic!de really is the answer" ending. Because I legitimately can't imagine a more dangerous moral to give a book

Everything I learn about this book is A. against my will and B. reminds me of this guy

I remember A Little Life being super popular a couple years ago and hearing about it everywhere. I looked up the plot and when I saw it was just a guy falling out of the trauma tree and hitting every branch on the way down, I knew I would never read it

I think there’s an idea some people have that the more suffering/negativity a novel contains, the deeper or more profound it is. Trauma for the sake of trauma doesn’t make an interesting plot.

it's just a badly written hurt/no comfort fanfic that should've stayed on ao3

This book is me when I get bored in the sims and just start destroying their lives in increasingly cartoonish ways

I saw it on my public library and decided to read it because it was so famous
it was absolutely horrible, it really felt like trauma porn and it really never made sense because it was only disgraces

I feel like some women have a fascination with gay male suffering. I remember growing up and reading fan fictions where the male lead was being subject to violence from parental figures and peers and it became such a running theme I had to stop reading them entirely.

Mr_Emmet :
This book nearly broke me. Not in a trauma way, in a “why is this so nonsensical” way. Why has Yanigahara never spoken to men about male friendship. It was the equivalent of “she breasted boobily down the stairs” with men and their emotions.

I’m convinced Yanigahara is homophobic, I’m just waiting for it to come out. It’s problematic literature

i simply could not get over the fact that the characters had the exact same personalities throughout the whole book, how can a person act the same way in their 60s as they did in their 30s??

Therapy is shit. I didn’t change (quit drinking, lost weight, stopped old cycles) until I went inward. Therapy is shit and worthless
