Intermezzo
by Sally Rooney
emotional
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
The book is well written and I generally liked it, but I found it a bit too long and a bit too slow. Miscommunication/lack of communication and grief are among the main focus points, so it can be a bit challenging and depressing to read at times.
The characters are all human, which means very flawed and often very frustrating. I would have liked if we also got Sylvia's and Naomi's POV, cause I would like to have understood more about their decisions and behaviours. Overall, I liked it more than Conversations with friends, but less than Normal People, so it falls somewhere in the middle for me.
