honestly this book is so emotionally draining!

on this read through I have noticed something I never have before! beautiful exposition and explanation of the eventual continuation of these characters lives. a line of reasoning upon which all other things in the novel exist

The beginning of the end!

I don't think I will ever be able to understand the people that call the first part of this novel boring. It is so unbelievably interesting (even on my fourth read) to see how these characters grew up, and just place myself within their heads. Truly phenomenal writing!

i’m always pleased to be reminded of the profoundness of Yanagihara’s work. A TRUE genius who is able to expertly develop characters while making them see real and flawed. Beyond characters they are people, beyond and a story this is reflection of life!
