5.0
I turned down more corners of pages and underlined more quotes than I have ever done.
Rooney encapsulates what it is to be lost and what it is to love and how we are all just human beings looking for the light.
I felt this book drives at the heart of what it is to be human, to be in your late twenties, to be trying to work with a world that won’t work with you.
Truly astounding
I also enjoyed reflecting on the characters growth.
A favourite quote:
Life is more changeable than I thought … it’s not just one thing or another, it doesn’t get fixed into a groove called personality and run along that way until the end.
