Also, Sally Rooney not using speech marks was an artistic choice that took a while to get used to?
Overall, I really wanted this book to be amazing as I've heard so many good things, but it just didn't hit the spot. I wanted to see the characters emotional intelligence grow, but it never happened.

Characters smoke cigarettes throughout the book. The two main characters have sex frequently (but the descriptions aren’t super graphic). Throughout the book, the main characters hurt each other emotionally by making big decisions that affect their relationship, without communicating with the other person. Both main character experience bullying at different points in the book. Class conflict throughout the book, as one main character is wealthy and the other is working class. One character argues that a woman (who doesn’t actually appear in the story) should have an abortion because she doesn’t have a job and isn’t in a relationship with the father. One character drinks until they vomit.saramassoudi's review against another edition

Minor: Vomit
There were several mentions of characters throwing up, if I remember correctly, but they were very short and "just a side note", so it didn't bother me personally much. I think it was mostly in the first half and only about three times or so.lauraloveslemons's review against another edition
