Sally Rooney is definitely a master of short-form fiction. It’s amazing how she can create such detailed impressions of characters in so few words. Reading this and observing the relationship between Sukie and Nathan is like watching a car crash - you know it’s going to end in disaster but you physically can’t look away. I definitely see myself returning to this short story in the future.

It is quiet, but devastating.

Moderate: Emotional abuse, Sexual content, Medical content, and Death of parent
Minor: Classism
There is sexual tension between a twenty-four year old and a thirty-eight year old, as well as a theme is nihilism permeating throughout the story.booksandvinyl's review against another edition
