A review by ivyninareads
Mr Salary by Sally Rooney
3.0
Dare I say it? ....
....
...... I think I may be a little Sally Rooney-ed out.
This short story was quite good, but nothing to write home about to me. I heard someone else say this really feels like what it is, the beginning of a Sally Rooney novel. Read it all in one sitting as one might assume with a book of this size. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, but maybe because I consumed so much Sally Rooney writing in such quick succession, in a way it has somewhat lost its sparkle to me. This is a little upsetting to admit because I was such a huge fan of Normal People. However, that's not to say that I didn't like any of her other works, however, in comparison, they did not pack nearly as much of a punch for me.
So this was Mr. Salary, and it was good, but Normal People still has my heart <3.
