bardzo dobra książka. pięknie uzupełniał mi się obraz, gdy Rooney raz aż boleśnie przybliżała się do bohaterów, żeby potem oddalić się i znów spojrzeć na to, że świat nie kończy się na tej jednej rozmowie, a Ziemiq wciąż się kręci. nie polubiłam nikogo z całej czwórki, ale czuję, bez tak właśnie miało być. widziałam ich takich, jakimi są, niemożliwych do jednoznacznego moralnego ocenienia. i obdarzyłam ich dużą dozą sympatii za te błędy i za ludzkość, zwyczajne człowieczeństwo.

i ach, ten pięknie zachowany balans między rozmyślaniami i refleksjami o rzeczach wielkich, a wątkami relacyjnymi i zawiłościami codzienności, które czasem aż przyćmiewają obraz wszystkiego poza nimi.

i mimo wszystko, smutny obraz współczesnych 30-latków mi się z tego wyłania - bardzo pogubionych, czujących, że zmarnowali życie. ważne dla mnie w kontekście mojego rozumienia świata

First book I've read by Sally Rooney, and honestly I did like it! I cannot really express my feelings about it yet, so I might edit this review later on, or I might not, who knows!

Two things I didn't like about the book is that the writer didn't use indications for when people we're having a conversation/emailing with each other. It was also sometimes very unclear who we were reading about > no POV announcements.

This is the first Sally Rooney book I’ve read…having watched Normal People I thought I’d give the author a go and picked this one up! I enjoyed it thoroughly and it was the perfect book to get me back into reading. Believable relationships and character interaction with lovely development. Wasn’t 100% what I expected from the title and the “moved me to tears more than once” on the front cover…I didn’t cry at all…am I made of stone??? Definitely going to check out Conversations with Friends next!
