the worst of sally rooney's books, imo, but they all go the same way: miscommunication, anger, arguments, self-pity, treating each other poorly, shitty parents. rinse and repeat.
normal people was excusable because most of it takes place before anyone's brains have finished developing, but this time it's real, full-grown adults. alice, felix, eileen—i can't stand any of them. simon is the only character i have a shred of patience for.
