This book honestly captivated me pretty well. The way they set the plot line against a backdrop of protests and organizing was really cool. I still am not quite sure why the main character drove into the police station??? And what was the deal w Jolene at the end. Rude of the ending to leave me hanging like that tho.

I’d been wanting to read this book for ages, eyeing its cover up in the library and remembering someone had recommended it to me because I like Sally Rooney.
I really enjoyed this book. It’s like many contemporary novels about dating, but is unique in its own way too. Dolan’s language often made me go back and read a paragraph again just because of how creative and inventive the words were.
I didn’t necessarily like the main character Ava, but I don’t think I was supposed to, but I did see the humanity in all of the characters because their ‘flaws’ were not hidden but quite visible.
This is a book about modern dating, class, social media and also, language. I loved it.
