I don’t think there’s a single person I’ve been attracted to, male or female, who made me obsessed with their spit or want to be masticated by them.

Stop it was so good omg it's also irish and full of small town culture so you know it's going to pull at the heartstrings i mean I've never read a book set in this country that wasn't determined to be depressing yet hopeful the Sally Rooney depresso has a chokehold on us as a nation

That was exactly the book I needed to read right now. I could not put it down and that’s the first time that’s happened in a while! This book was beautifully written and nailed the inner monologue of a teenage girl. It’s hard to like the protagonist, Lucy, at times but you understand her struggle and desperation which is deeply gut wrenching. Glad she didn’t end up with Susannah though! If you liked Normal People you’ll probably also like this and you should read it cause I want a film adaptation.
