The time skips in every chapter were difficult to follow. It would be many months later in the next chapter and that was confusing. It was also confusing that there were no quotation marks when somebody spoke.
I wouldn’t recommend it, but that’s just because I didn’t like the subject and what the book was about. If u do like reading about relationship problems and love drama, this could be a good book for you.

Spoiler
I did not enjoy that the ending felt so abrupt. You watch the whole will they/won’t they but at the end there is no closure. Marianne lacks development but Connell gets to grow into someone. I wish there was a redemption for marriane and a conclusion to their relationship.Graphic: Bullying
