My only issues are with the way it was written. That's more of a personal thing though. I find dialogue to be the most important part of a piece of media involving two or more people and in this book there are no quotation marks. The writing is very, very good, so the issue was when it flipped from being internal and external. Although I'm sure that was intentional. My other issue is I didn't like how their stories went. But that's another personal thing! If only they knew how to just talk to each other! Even still I think they're the kind of people who will get married in the future whether or not they work on themselves. They're it for each other. I like that, but I wish they were healthier!

so so many lines in this hit incredibly hard. even though nothing really happens i was completely absorbed by the narrative and connell and marianne's relationship. even though it's fairly slow-paced it flies by! i know a lot of people complain about the lack of quotation marks but i didn't notice it at all with the exception of just a few points where i had to double check who was speaking.
the last 30 pages or so annoyed me (can't articulate why, just felt really unsatisfying) but otherwise i really enjoyed !
