CW: cancer, mention of death (of parents), mention of addiction, paedophilia
I haven't read anything by Sally Rooney so this was my first encounter with her writing. I enjoyed the style, very easy to read but dear God, every time authors don't use quotation marks to indicate direct speech I want to jump out the window.
Didn't really think anything in this story was romantic, it was just weird. Both main characters weren't likable to me and if I'm honest, I was hoping that what turned out to be a sleeping bag in the river was Nathan who had somehow driven into the river.
The story was fine but not particularly memorable to me. This type of story isn't really for me, either, but apart from absolutely hating the age difference and that fact making all the interactions between Sukie and Nathan in this story weird, I didn't totally hate the story.
* Edit: Reflecting on this and thinking about it some more, I realized that most of the rating was because the writing style isn't terrible but other than that I absolutely hated this story.
Moderate: Cancer and Death of parent
Minor: Addiction
