  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

The last third felt a little tapped on, but the last scene was brilliant. Sally Rooney made me fall in love with the concept of descriptions of ambiance. She creates such a simple but pleasing atmosphere, and she has made stream of consciousness her own. Really, some scenes of this book wrecked me.
