I was so sad to have to put it down. I have to say that I was in the beginning very skeptical about if I’d like it or not. Part of me didn’t even wanna read it. Now I’m glad I read it. It’s not my favorite cause of the heaviness of the story but it is well written and I enjoyed the relationship between the two mc’s. I do think that anyone that wants to read this should do an extensive look on trigger warnings cause this was so much more than I had expected from what I’ve heard from others. The end killed me. I can’t believe everything that happened within the last 50 pages. I’m happy for them both but also nooooo why did it have to end like that?! Connell is one of the best men out there and nothing can change my mind!

i absolutely loved it?! near the end i was scared because i didn’t want it to have a happy ending like that, fortunately it didn’t have but it had it’s own happy ending. their relationship was surely kinda toxic but not in a really bad way cause they needed each other literally everytime as friends. i actually felt so sorry for marianne and the way she would give him her all but also i relate to that or i could understand that pretty well. the characters were top tier i loved them. connell had my heart from the beginning & i loved every second of it ready to start my second sally rooney book :)
