A Little LifeHanya Yanagihara
Loved it

I spoke about this one in my review so I'm not going to talk too much about it now but I just think for me this one was about the characters rather than the writing and I just think it took me somewhere different it's certainly the book that I can think of that's effectively emotionally the most this year and the one that I would sort of find myself recommending to people most

this is a novel told in vignettes about a very disturbed young girl and her life and the weight is interacting with other people her family her brothers and sort of this odd relationship she has with her father as well it's really disturbing but it's really innovatively told

whilst the story wasn't my favorite story that I've read this year certainly and I did have some major problems with some of the characters some elements of this book was so clever that has just brought it completely to the top of my list
