Since I don't find the two short stories I read by Sally Rooney here on Goodreads I decided to use this book?article?collection? by her to rate them.
The first one is Light and Color, and you can read it for free because it was published by The Newyorker, here's the link: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/03/18/color-and-light
It was a 3 stars story, I still love her writing. You can even listen to her reading the story in this article, she's so great.

The other one was the short story that Sally wrote when she'd started playing with the idea for Normal People, so we enconter Marianne and Connell again (I don't know exactly where it fits in the timeline, they're like 23 in this story) and it was 5 STARS. Oh God, I loved them. Here's the link for the article, it was published by The White Review: https://www.thewhitereview.org/fiction/at-the-clinic/
