A Little Life: A Novel
Hanya Yanagihara
I read it while in hospital, which formed a very important memory for me. It made an otherwise dreary time seem worthwhile.

I adored this book, and never really got over leaving the characters behind. My phone wallpaper has been fanart of the characters for months!

Slaughterhouse-Five
Kurt Vonnegut
A book that earns its stellar reputation. Has something for everybody. Combines fantastical elements of sci-fi with genuinely moving personal drama.

The Time Traveler's Wife
Audrey Niffenegger
A book that is challenging not in its prose but in how it makes you feel about the dynamic of the central relationship. Packs a punch that is not soon forgotten!
