This is my second chance venture for Sally Rooney after I wasn't a big fan of Normal People, and I can conclude that she is genuinely excellent at writing the mundane goings of normal life - but her books unfortunately don't click with me. I do think this was a step up from Normal People where I wasn't as fed up with the characters and they did eventually start growing on me. I don't think I would venture into this type of book again at least for a while, I have a hard time getting into it.

While I did enjoy some of the more reflective pieces of this, these characters are awful and unloveable. Yes, entirely human, but insufferable in a novel.

I devoured this book. I just love Rooney’s writing so much, her very direct descriptions, her dialogs. Especially the dialogs. My heart ached vividly while reading, here writing brings me to tears often, or makes my laugh audibly. It’s sometimes difficult to read, like her other novels, because it disturbs me, but in a good way. I was a little taken aback by the email parts at the beginning, but I ended up liking them actually. It made me want to reread her other books.
