I love Sally Rooney’s writing style so much, and this book didn’t disappoint. The characters feel so real and she does such an amazing job of giving the reader so much context and insight about who the characters are and what drives them and also just how flawed they are as individuals. The characters were kind of dislikable and could be unkind but I think that is what adds to Sally Rooney’s stories — just a great depiction of how messy and complicated people and relationships are.
