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.
