this is a story about love, in many forms. i liked only one of the characters, everyone else was so unlikable i wanted to punch them in the face (and THAT is what i loved the most about this book). i wasn’t on anyone’s side, because these characters captured the complexity of relationships and feelings and being human so well. everyone was right and everyone was wrong in a lot of ways. i loved normal people by sally rooney, and this book wasn’t what i expected it to be; i’m not disappointed by it, and i’m also not super sure i would read it again.

bookedbymadeline's review against another edition

All of the characters are meh

It’s like a car crash, I couldn’t quite look away and kept debating about whether to DNF or not.

Sometimes the writing is nice and I get pulled in and other times it drags-the pacing is just all over the place. I finally decided to DNF because there hasn’t been any character development and the whole Frances/Nick relationship is just repeating the same things every single time. Nothing new has been happening and no one is just saying how they really feel?! Every character is so passive and unlikeable-I’m just not a Rooney girly 🤷🏻‍♀️
