I almost DNF’ed this so many times. It dragged and dragged until about the last 50 pages, which isn’t what you want. It’s a fine debut. The similes got convoluted and the long passages of Nothing got boring pretty quickly. The ending did keep my attention though, Anna’s mind as everything is moving on from this one emotionally draining point in her life is interesting and therapeutic. I’m afraid the era of Sally Rooney type narratives may already be reaching its end (only the knock offs though, Ms Rooney is doing just fine!!)
