nice. big enjoyment. want the screen adaptation immediately. found myself spoken-wording scenes all teary eyed & shit.
There are hints of intellectual conversation, social and political commentary (similar to that which Rooney indulges in) which was present in Love and Virtue - but only hints. I wanted more. MORE.
The characters are strong, the plot not so much, but it grows stronger as you fall more in love with the characters.
The Hasbulla thing felt a lil tacky.
I underlined a lot. A lot of relatable things. A lot of insightful things. A lot of nostalgic things.
Did I mention I love Eleanor a lot?

Soft DNF, just not vibing with it right now and feel like it might put me in a slump if I keep going (feels like it already is). Still want to read sometime in the future!

A disappointing second novel after Love and Virtue. It's competent, but didn't engage me. I understand the idea of the split viewpoint between two main characters (illustrating different sides of an issue) but for me it made both of them too thin, and I found the older's sister love affair unconvincing.
