If you are looking for an epic love story to read or to gift, I recommend A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara.

It is not for the feint-hearted. It is both compelling & devastating to read. At times I never wanted to put it down, at others I daren’t pick it up to read on. It made me cry on more than one occasion. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days after finishing it.

At 720 pages long, A Little Life is not so little, but it will remind you of the joy & price we pay for love.

There are many great quotes from this book, here is jut one:

“Things get broken, and sometimes they get replaced, and in most cases, you realise that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully”.
