You have fully convinced me to read this book, Caitlin. I love this kind of book analysis. Thanks for doing it! (Also: love the Bill Murray gif!)

I really do think it's a good learning exercise for me, too!

The structure of knowing some disaster is coming but not knowing the details is just one of the many things that made A Little Life an incredible book to read (and equally painful)

I still haven't read this one!! I think I've hesitated because I've heard it's just emotionally devastating

it is. but it’s also one of the most beautifully written books i’ve ever read. it’s devastating primarily because the author is so talented and through her writing you feel SO deeply attached to these characters. it hurt me so much but i recommend it endlessly!!!

Love the idea of "sowing little mysteries." Also, just subscribed as paid sub and in my comment I think I tragically misplaced a "y," in Caitlin's name. SORRY!!!
