annakh16 's review for:

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

3.5

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A somewhat difficult one to rate. I fear it’s the situation I usually end up in with Rooney: I respect the craft (perhaps in this one most out of all her works) but I’m not really invested. I felt no strong desire to read this book. There is some sharp description and analysis of family/relationship dynamics amongst other issues though, some of which hit quite close to home. Ultimately, I’m therefore glad to have read the book but in the grand scheme, I just don’t think this author is for me.
