    Gifting A Little Life to someone you’re dating is BOLD. 😂 A Little Life eating game: every time you read the word ‘Caleb’ you have to eat a cookie.

    I saw a trailer a while ago for an HBO series starring the guy who won best actor for playing the lead singer of Queen. It looked good. I always pictured Jude as someone with dark hair, even though in the book it says he's blond.

    I’ve been in a book hangover from this one since April,,,it’s insane - I keep trying to pick up another one and I just can’t do it. Most beautiful but also most devastating thing I’ve ever read (not at most a week goes by that I don’t think of Willem & Jude) I sobbed my eyes out like actually 10 times in the span of those last 300 pages or so 💔anyways before I ramble I really enjoyed your video and I hope you’re fairing well after finishing it bc I know I wasn’t hsjsj

    This book was definitely the most impactful thing I’ve ever read. I read it using the audiobook especially for the sad bits to try and detach myself. Reading a book about male friendships and a father/son relationship portrayed so beautifully is what I appreciated the most.

    I love the book. There must be something wrong with me because the book didn't upset or depress me. I just enjoyed it all the way through and I was so glad to find out what had happened to Jude. I know what happened to him was terrible but I just enjoyed the book.
