It’s not the life I used to imagine for myself either. But it’s the life I have, the only one.
Friendship and love, you have it all here. 4 adults, trying to figure out what they want and where do they belong. Each characters have their own complexity. Their relationship is so complicated, a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication. The character development is so strong until you could feel the frustration that happened within them. I love how Sally Rooney could portray that there is no one in this world who's special and always win. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, sometimes it's in between.
The situation is also described very well and detailed. The plot is slowly going forward, it's a bit boring at first (i would say the half of the book) but the ending is finally a happy one. Sorry for being traumatized because of Sally Rooney's previous books that I thought they won't have a good ending, or open ending (worst case). I'm so satisfied at the end. Overall, I definitely love with this book.
Moderate: Mental illness
