Selfish? Yes.
Pretentious? Yes.
But can I also relate to the complexities of navigating self esteem, feelings, relationships, and friendships during early adulthood? Absolutely yes.
The main characters being intolerable does not make this a bad book! I don’t believe everyone has to be pleasant/charming in order for readers to understand their intricate inner thoughts. I also think that this makes the characters more realistic to me as well. In fact, I think this is intentional on Sally Rooney’s part.
Moderate: Infidelity, Self harm, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, Toxic friendship, and Abandonment
