The Darkness Beyond the Daisies

The trauma in this book makes A Little Life look like a children’s book. 

Not only was it hard to get through because of how dark it was but also because it dragged A LOT. 

There’s many chapters where a whole lotta nothing happens. 

You’d get used to reading the past chapters back to back, finally getting somewhere in the story then boom… you’re reading the present day chapters and it takes you out of the rhythm.

After all that happened, I’m relieved there was some kind of happy ending even though I didn’t like how it played out. 

It was very much like the cliche “AND THEN I WOKE UP AND IT WAS ALL A DREAM” ass ending.

If I could go back in the past, I would stop myself from reading this. 

Essence

The trauma in this book makes A Little Life look like a children’s book. 
Not only was it hard to get through because of how dark it was but also because it dragged A LOT. 
There’s many chapters where a whole lotta nothing happens. 

The pacing was just off. 
You’d get used to reading the past chapters back to back, finally getting somewhere in the story then boom… you’re reading the present day chapters and it takes you out of the rhythm.

After all that happened, I’m relieved there was some kind of happy ending even though I didn’t like how it played out.
