Was the author high while writing this utter nonsense? More high and drugged than all of her characters? And why is everybody trying to experiment with Sally Rooney's writing style? These characters are obnoxious and the story is so lame, boring. A waste of time.

Likeee. Creo que me gusto más que exciting times. Tiene sus cosas frustrantes y deprimentes. Me encantaron las conexiones y distintas perspectivas sobre mismas cosas. Lo sentí super humano con algunas cosas relatable y para pensar

This book is, in a word, excellent. I enjoyed this much more than Exciting Times, especially as this seems more ripe for adaptation into a miniseries or film. I found the characters likeable despite humanistic flaws, and while the ending seemed inevitable I enjoyed the path towards. A super fast read as well!

Random note, but at one point there is a typo where Archie's middle name changes from Patel to Gupta. May just be this edition, but thus may also make this edition a special one in future!
