A beautiful dive into relationships, friendships, mental health and everything that goes along with them. Flawed and sometimes toxic characters stumbling through messy lives and loves, but ultimately helping eachother figure out who they are. Easy to read, not for lack of style.

I have read this book twice now. Rooney masterfully executes books about being in your mid to late twenties and trying to figure out how to live life. I enjoyed her use of foiling each of the main characters against each other and how she uses this to build tension throughout the story. I felt like I knew the characters like friends by the end.

Sally Rooney back again with a stellar novel - I really loved this book. The characters are complex but lovable and I love the way that Rooney depicts the complex relationships Alice, Felix, Simon, and Eileen have with one another.
