Finished the second book. Had to put this one down quite a number of times. The emotional rollercoaster remained potent, especially towards the end, however the plot was seemingly lacklustre.

Finished reading the first of three instalments the book offers — Washington Square. Yanagihara once again excels at crafting a story so tender that I too, when arrived at the conflict, seemed to be influenced by David's strong feelings towards Edward, rather than rationalizing the preceding events. Edward, you charming bastard.
