I really enjoyed this book. It was engaging and very well written.
Personally the ending felt too ‘happy’ or predictable which was slightly disappointing. However the first 3/4s of the book were gripping, full of great character development and Rooney tackled lots of interesting topics.

I couldn’t get behind the themes in the book. Pretty jarring self harm content, marital affairs, etc. The book was thought-provoking, but not what I love to read personally. On theme with S. Rooney.

4.25 or 4.5 (i can’t decide)
my first Sally Rooney book and i actually loved it. the writing is so good (i was not expecting that). it was a bit weird reading dialogues without quotations but got used to it fairly quickly. i was surprised to see a lot of negative reviews. however, the ending leaves me wanting more…

I felt pretty bored by this book overall, but the writing was well done and the last couple chapters had some interesting ideas about love and friendship. I wish those ideas had been more incorporated into the rest of the book or reflected on more. I also felt like there was no set up to get to that point. The main character and her best friend are set up to be queer and anti capitalist, but that isn’t reflected on as much as I would have liked. It might have made reading about the affair more interesting. Otherwise the characters were pretty flat.
