The book was very character driven and there wasn't an obvious plot but for me who's nosy into other people's lives, I didn't find it unenjoyable. I'll move onto watching the BBC series now :)

It felt like the story relied a little too heavily on the miscommunication trope. But it was so easy to root for Marianne and Connell the whole time. Just an easy read despite some difficult topics. I think the author has an ability to write about mundane things in a poetic way.
