Think I needed to read Beooklyn first. Kind of bothered by why I could not get any sort of feel for the main character whatsoever, no description of inner life or thoughts, why she did what she did. Looking forward to reading book one to see if things make more sense 🤓

Very well written characters, but just like in Brooklyn, the book ends abruptly as if the last 20% is missing

Long Island is a beautiful, aching love story. Colm Tobin creates complicated and flawed characters who are unbelievably human. You spend the book longing for the characters to magically be less human, less complicated, and to live happily ever after. Colm Tobin is too masterful for happy ever after. You end up with real characters making decisions that are both relatable and regrettable. Beautifully constructed and written.
I didn’t like that you knew where this story was heading about halfway through. we were heading directly towards heartbreak and it made it hard to read
I did not like how passive the characters were. Although we got an insight into their mindset they never seemed to give any attention to how they’d hurt those around them.
I liked the side characters a lot and wouldn’t mind learning more about them if such a book were to exist.
