I didn't love it, but I couldn't put it down. It's one of those books where I felt intrigued by the characters and hated them all at the same time. I suppose I found myself wondering if such humanly flawed characters could find compassion and companionship with each other. I don't know if I wanted them to end up together or if I wanted to see how sometimes we are only briefly, or not so briefly entangled with other people only for them to exit our lives and become strangers again. 3 stars.

Found most of the characters pretty unlikable. Storyline was kind of slow, not much happening.

Realised this isn’t a genre for me.

Siento que hace rato no leía una novela que me entretuviera de principio a fin. Me gusta mucho cómo escribe Sally Rooney, creo que de sus novelas esta es la menos popular, pero a mí me gustó mucho. Sus reflexiones muy actuales sobre distintos temas en esos largos emails entre amigas, las disfruté. Lo que menos me gustó fue el final para una de las protagonistas, porque me pareció muy cliché. Le daría 4.5 estrellitas, pero Goodreads todavía no me lo permite.
