IN SALLY ROONEY WE TRUST! i love the way that the title kind of actualized. i like the themes of people’s relationships being impossible to be independent of each other. super neat but totally felt it slow down in the last 50 pages. a gorgeous narrative. this book pushes ambiguity and was unpredictable in a good way. loved it.

why was i annoyed that there was a possibility that they end up together in the end?? it felt much more comfortable to me that there was no chance like how bobbi put it in the second to last chapter
