I mean this unironically: 2012 Tumblr would have loved you, Sally Rooney. 

This book reminds me that though the magic of a coming-of-age grows harder to capture again as I get older, it is still possible and there is still much to rediscover through others' reflections on youth. 

(And yes, I listened to + by Ed Sheeran as my personal soundtrack to this.)
