I hate absolutely every character and almost every decision they made. Why was this so engaging?

I normally love Sally Rooney but this  book just made me so mad, frustrated and so many other things. It’s messy but almost too much so where the self loathing overtakes. Maybe listening to her books as audiobooks has kinda thrown off my perception of her writing but this wasn’t an enjoyable read for me at all.

Sally Rooney’s debut is no different to her other works in the sense that she creates fully realised and relatable characters. 

Whilst not a traditional romance, the book is an exploration of modern relationships. It is thought provoking, frustrating and relatable.

Funny and full of drama. The characters feel like real people and you’re the normal friend listening to them tell you how they’re fucking up their lives.
