sugerir hacer long-distance o la promesa de hablar todos los días por Skype, que era algo que frecuentaban. No es que los planes de Marianne tienen que cambiar en un acto sumiso del que creció, sino resolver activamente desde el deseo: quiero estar con vos, vos querés estar conmigo, está esta gran oportunidad laboral e implicaría distanciarnos fisicamente, ¿qué hacemos?

I have heard a lot of comments about Sally Rooney's writing being hard to read because she does not use quotations to help the reader recognize dialogue. Personally, I fell in love with her writing style as soon as I picked up the book. As for the dialogue it's definitely more feeling than reading a quotation mark that lets you know when someone is speaking. This is a very sad book but I think if you're drawn to it you should read it. Check the content warnings though!
