For me, this book felt like a dark academia rainy cloudy novel. I could smell the books, the old wood and the smoke. 

The back and forth between being together and not being can be tiring. I wish Marianne and Connell to just be like « normal people » and accept their feelings sooner, but this story wouldn’t exist this way. They are both mentally ill, maybe even making each other ill. I don’t who between the who has more power on the other ? They’re definitely influencing each others. I wish Marianne would have a happier life with her family, maybe without her brother she wouldn’t be that unconfident & masochist. 

also didn’t except sex scene since the beginning but I understand why. It’s not a love story but the growth of their fucked up relationship. Also, I feel like sex is an important part of their relationship ? 

I didn’t expect the ending to be like this. It’s not a happy ending, it’s just the same as their relationship has always been. They’re together but life take them away of each others and they might be together again later.



I can’t find topics to add to help others users find similar books 😭
