E de fato, a escrita é excelente. Por ser um livro relativamente curto, eu achei que seria uma leitura super rápida, mas não… foi difícil ler, talvez por trazer a sensação de ser tão real, tão sofrido, tão palpável, muitas vezes, vi que era necessário fechar o livro e ficar pensando sobre.
A forma como Sally toca em assuntos tão intensos e gatilhos diversos, profundamente, é bem única, transformando toda a experiência de leitura e os acontecimentos.
Gostei tanto que mal posso esperar para ler os próximos livros dela.

This was my first Sally Rooney book. So being unfamiliar with her writing I went into this book assuming it was a nice modern romance.. This is actually a story about miscommunication, emotional abuse/trauma, bullying, awareness of self, emotional maturity, love, abandonment, dependency, and friendship. It was a LOT.
Personally, I found the characters pretty frustrating. Mainly because it seemed like a magnified version of how life can look for people who have trouble with any of those above themes?
But throughout the entire book I was waiting for
This book is a look at real life and truly complex human emotions. It is veryyy well done. It was simple a hard read when I typically look for escapism in my books, not a highlighting of my own personal anxieties/insecurities.
