You peeps really have to start reading fanfiction so you don't glorify a badly written misscomunication trope.

I didn't want this to end. I was reading it after having watched the series - the only thing I'd say is I thought the final lines of the book weren't as strong as the final lines of the TV show. I need to get a physical copy to analyse as there was soo many lines that just got me in the gut and expressed things within me I've never been able to recognise or express. Jesus Christ do I feel seen (not sure this is a good thing lol).

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.

This story began as a wonderful and youthful tale of forbidden love, but morphed into a hyper-realistic reflection of life. This is not the book if you are hoping for a happy ending or tragic romance. It's somehow perfectly balanced in-between.
