Hearts and Bones: Love Stories for Late Youth by Niamh Mulvey

emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? N/A
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A
I've decided not to give this a star rating, mostly as I felt really disconnected from these short stories, reading mostly to tick this off my TBR. While some did stick out to me, I don't remember enough of it to offer any well constructed thoughts or criticism, except to say the setting and melancholy of the characters feels vaguely Sally Rooney-esque (I feel like I say this every third review, but it is my brand)
