this read felt like a slow descent into a dumpster fire. story started with great potential but never really took off from there, much like the main characters.

so many thoughts and emotions felt😪 the ending felt like a gut punch but it makes the most sense. life and relationships are complex and i think Sally Rooney made that painfully clear

Navel-gazing trash. This entire novel could have been avoided if these characters could get their heads out of their own asses long enough for an honest conversation. At least Connell gets therapy, they both need it desperately.
