This is my favourite release from Sally Rooney yet. The way this is written gives so much yet leaves so much for interpretation, and her magic with describing emotional complexities we all feel is just amazing. This book is funny, dark, sexy, reflective and a great commentary on the state of the world.

Really great book to read if you are struggling with any form of relationships in life; it is very reflective. The characters are insufferable however also lovable at the same time?
