I’m a big fan of Sally Rooney’s work and this did not disappoint. I was very pleased to see her engaging with her typical topics of relationships, millennial ennui, genius, philosophy, religion, etc with more nuanced discussions of privilege and mental health than her last two books. At times, the email format flattened the character voices but all in all I found this to be a really thought provoking, validating, and engaging read.
