I'm not smart enough to fully understand this book, but it made me so fucking sad. Every single line was a poetic punch in my stomach. It made me want to die I was so miserable.

Unfortunately this book combined many of my least favorite themes: unlikable and selfish main characters, no quotation marks making it difficult to follow on the paper version, limited plot, and minimal character growth or development.

This is the third Sally Rooney book I've read, and I don't know why I keep trying. I really don't like her work. I find them super boring, and yet I keep hoping something will change, because her name and books keep coming up on list after list for must-reads. I don't get it. I think I really will stop trying. This one was another disappointment for me.
