• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I have absolutely no idea what to think about this book… there were a few good thoughts and passages (and many of those came off as quite pretentious), but none of them were more than very simple mentions, only brushing the actual topic. Also, the sex scenes were not my thing. They generally felt weird, especially when paired with the pseudo-catholic thought experiments about Jesus. And since I’m not the biggest fan of smut, a book where there is about 50/50 sex scenes and actual story (if you could call it that) doesn’t work for me. All in all, simply not my kind of story :/

I liked it better than Normal People, the writing felt more mature (but maybe that’s because the characters written about are older?). There were actually quotes that I underlined because I thought they were well written or they struck me in some way (which wasn’t the case with Normal People). However, I found the characters quite unloveable as in no one’s straightforward with anyone, their relationships/friendships all felt very co-dependent and toxic... Also, I don’t think I like the way Sally Rooney writes females characters, they just felt as though they could have been written by a man, and when they seem to stand up for themselves, they just fall back into the dynamic of seeking a man’s love and approval about everything. But the end was quite lovely and the last few chapters were actually a good conclusion where stuff needed to happen after all the miscommunication and hypocrisy.
