First of all, this book had no quotations when characters were talking which was honestly very confusing. I never knew if it was all in the main character’s head or actual dialogue. The book seemed to have a lot of hype for something that was actually mid.

Sally Rooney reads beautifully. This book is so messy. The protagonist keeps making the worst decisions, I wanted to slap her. I like Normal People better. The last few lines of this book, what Frances said, it left me speechless. Trust Sally Rooney to finish her book leaving the reader at a loss of words, somehow looking for more.

A dramatic story with an inconclusive end. Exciting and reflective but not as conceptually driven as Sally Rooney’s Normal People.
