Big ~august~ energy:
"Remember when I pulled up and said, 'Get in the car'
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all."
(Completely realizing the irony of these lyrics btw)

i dont know what it is about sally rooney's writing that grabs me and wont let go but here we are. a story that involves a few heavy subjects in a more slice of life story progression style, similar to Normal People though this one doesnt jump forward in time so much. i found myself both liking the main character and rooting for her but also wishing i could shake her to snap her out of whatever trance the 'love interest' had with her. but she really feels human in her decision making and thoughts, despite all the people around her being super entitled/hispter-esque, and i feel like she had pretty good character development over the course of the book.
im not going to lie, i do love a story with some good rich people drama. this definitely had a bit of that going on.
