While reading this book I was really torn between liking and hating it and I'm still not sure. It wasn't what I expected, I think. The main thing that threw me off was Frances herself. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring up any sympathy for her or relate to her in any way. I simply didn't like her, but then again I didn't like any character in this book, really, and it makes me wonder if it's meant to be that way or if I just don't like Sally Rooneys writing. Then the other thing that bothered me, that hasn't really gotten much to do with the actual book, that I still feel the need to mention is, how in the show Nick is played by no other than Joe Alwyn and maybe that's just me but I definitely wouldn't describe him as, and I quote: "Handsome to an almost off-putting extent" but since I already knew Joe Alwyin played Nick I couldn't even imagine him as someone else and it made me relate to Frances even less, because why would you sleep with a married man if he looks like Joe Alwyn?

I hate absolutely every character and almost every decision they made. Why was this so engaging?

Funny and full of drama. The characters feel like real people and you’re the normal friend listening to them tell you how they’re fucking up their lives.
