I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.

I was expecting more, to be honest, while I liked the narration and the writing I hated the way dialogues where handled as a big monologue. Nevertheless I liked the exploration about Connell and Marianne's lives, personalities and relationship, I just was expecting for this book to be a favorite since it's so reverenced

May or may not be dense, but it wasn’t that deep.

This book made a 9 hour flight with crazy turbulences even longer and stressful.

I do want to give it another chance… I think.

It took a while to get used to no quotations around conversations. But, after about two chapters it’s easier. This book is perfectly titled. I’ve never read a book that was so weirdly normal. It made me smile and shake my head. It’s middle of the road for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I fell in love with the story but not the writing, the book didn’t pull my emotions  the way the — amazing —show did months later.
