The book did a pretty good job of showing the problematic side of the relationship between Connell and Marianne, and how she would forgive him for anything and still go back even when she shouldn't. And it's good for books and media to show those relationships, and how harmful they are as opposed to just showing the happy and positive, healthy relationships because the other type sadly also exists and in seeing it portrayed. It may help some people to recognise it themselves because of that.

I don't quite know what to say about this one. I liked the way the characters were written, but not all of their actions. I like the way Marianne was described at the beginning of the book, but not her later actions and the way her relationship with Connell progressed. I know this isn't one of my more well written reviews, but I honestly don't know how to put my feelings and thoughts on this book into a comprehensive review.
