I felt like I was rooting for Connell and Marianne while at the same time not really knowing what I was rooting for. This discussion of power dynamics was really beautifully done.

i have never read a book that ended so abruptly and i think i love it?


Honestly I did struggle with the dialogue not being in quotation marks...but I did adjust!!!
