it was definitely frustrating at times how odd and confusing the relationship and characters were. but thats the point. both marianne and connell are so relatable in so many ways and even at their worst times, they made sense. even when both of them were communicating at their best, there was still lots of miscommunication and pain, which is so realistic and honestly made their connection even more special. i fell in love with the dynamic of their comfort and pureness from the very beginning. i’m honestly just dumping a bunch of words right now because i’m kind of in shock at how relatable and real this story was. never in my life have i felt so close to and understood by a book. both of the characters were so incredibly real and true and i just wish them both the best.
this is 100 percent reread material ✅

Their on-off relationship starts whilst in school in small town in Western Ireland, which continues as they go to University in Dublin. It is an interesting character driven story of a friendship with benefits between two people who cannot seem to stay together yet are lost when they are apart. I was a little disappointed with the ending, which was just left hanging!
