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

I’m not sure if I would’ve liked this as much if I hadn’t already seen the show. Maybe because I could picture it so well, it was more impactful. Either way, I loved this. So many great quotes, so much relatability.
