A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - whether you’ve read the book, looking to read it or you’re just here to see what the hype is all about, we’ve got you covered! Welcome to the first instalment of the Amusing Book Club - for readers, non-readers and the procrastinators like us stuck in between. In this episode we discuss our thoughts around the first half (ish) of the novel including a dissection of the characters, themes, how we feel overall and our predictions going forward. Grab your book, a cup of tea and listen in! Beware there will be spoilers.

Trigger warning, this episode contains discussion of themes including self-harm, suicide and abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

Through break-ups, breakdowns, challenges and the highs and lows of life, we feel that it is always our women friends we can depend on to have our backs. There is something special that we can all appreciate about female friendships and we think Dolly Alderton sums it up perfectly. Sit in for a chat about friendship, womanhood and the best love story of your life.
