Sorrow & Bliss by Meg Mason
4.0
Really brilliantly written and engaging. Moved me to tears occasionally, the characters and their struggles felt very real and incredibly close.
It veered, about 2/3 of the way through, to feeling too autobiographical in tone - like that one chapter needed another round of edits. But it was brought back on track, and the ending was satisfyingly unsatisfactory.
What I would recommend to people who like Sally Rooney or who wanted to like Sally Rooney, but didn’t (like me).
