Sally Rooney is definitely a master of short-form fiction. It’s amazing how she can create such detailed impressions of characters in so few words. Reading this and observing the relationship between Sukie and Nathan is like watching a car crash - you know it’s going to end in disaster but you physically can’t look away. I definitely see myself returning to this short story in the future.

I enjoyed this short story. Makes me want to reread Conversations with Friends or Normal People because I like Sally Rooney's writing style.
