A review by ladybird4prez
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

4.5

Although I don’t consider myself too much of a litfic fan anymore, I think Sally Rooney is incapable of disappointing me. This stream of consciousness style writing as means of exploring grief, substance abuse, politics, complicated tangled webs of relationships, existential crises, and suicidal ideation coupled with the alternating povs that all come to the same conclusion: there is no point to life if we don’t continue to share it with these people. And nobody writes relationships like a Rooney relationship🤷‍♀️really masterful stuff. A poignant and hopeful read.
