I loved her way of writing, and how mundane the story was. The characters are so relatable and real, and the author trusts the reader to understand what is happening between the lines, instead of making things too obvious. I loved how you didn’t always quite know what was being said and what was just a thought, and the miscommunication between the characters was not frustrating, but realistic, and showed each characters insecurities. Every relationship dynamic was really interesting, which I rarely find in other books. The story made reflect on friendships and human behaviour, and had an impact on me in general, i will probably think about it for a long time.
