3.0

the worst of sally rooney's books, imo, but they all go the same way: miscommunication, anger, arguments, self-pity, treating each other poorly, shitty parents. rinse and repeat.

normal people was excusable because most of it takes place before anyone's brains have finished developing, but this time it's real, full-grown adults. alice, felix, eileen—i can't stand any of them. simon is the only character i have a shred of patience for.

3.0

I thought it explored a lot of different relationship dynamics and emotions around change and transition. Still, I wish it didn't center so much around the two women's relationship with the men. The book was not incredibly profound, but I see the value in it.

Also, the last chapter was so random and not really connected to the original plot other than to just give unneeded closure
