A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. This. Book. Ruined. Me. It's notorious for how how devastating it is, how hatefully sad it is, for how every time it brings you up it slams you back down with twice the venom. It leaves you exhausted, traumatised, and betrayed by the untrustworthy nature of Yanagihara's writing. A …

My Sister the Serial Killer has been all over the bookish world recently, and it even got shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2019. So when I saw it in my local library, I mean, it would have been rude not to pick it up, right? The book is a literary crime thriller …
