This book isn’t as strong as Sally’s other work to me. It’s quite male gaze-y at points in the beginning and the sex scenes are more graphic than her other books. Not my favourite.

Not really sure how I feel about this one, like where did it end?
the brothers having Christmas dinner together with their respective gfs??


I underlined a fair amount of sentences and I really resonated with Ivan. I do wish we got Sylvie's pov as well

Sally Rooney has released her penultimate work, diving headfirst into the complexities of interpersonal relationships. I found myself splitting with laughter, tying my heart back together, & squeezing with tension throughout this work.
