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.ughlex's review against another edition

I read this (& watched the show) during the pandemic but didn't get it. Having matured I definetly fully appreciate it now and I'm glad I've been reintroduced to Sally Rooney's work ahead of her new book being announced! Now time to re-read her other books that I didn't appreciate before.
