I cannot remember the last time i read a book this fast. An effortless read that has a quick pace like I’ve never read before

One of my favorites. I was fully engulfed into the story. It was such a personal style of writing, every time frustrations would arise or they’d fall back together, I felt it completely. But it was more than this relationship, the more it was made known their inflictions & troubles; the easier it was to understand why it was so damn hard for them to be vulnerable. I love Marianne. I love Connell. I have a thing for longing and tension. The openness of the ending allows me to develop my own ideas of what happened to them. It’s beautiful.

I waited to read this book because I KNEW it would connect with me so deeply. I was correct, but it didn’t hurt as I thought it would, it made me feel know. Sally Rooney’s biggest fan.
