didn’t enjoy this book unfortunately. really liked Ivan as a character and think it explored grief well but that’s about it. Not really much of a plot to it and found it very boring and predictable. Shame really I do like Sally Rooney and I’d seen good things about this book.

I nearly gave up the style of writing was so bad but people on here has said stick with it. I'm not sure why, the characters were self indulgent and annoying especially Ivan in the way he refused to speak with his brother. That being said some of the female characters were well written so it could have been worse. I do not feel enriched by reading this and feel robbed of time I could have spent reading better books.
