This read is a really big surprise to me. Despite the differently written dialogues, it was a very fluid and very gripping read. Sally Rooney's way of capturing the deep emotions of these two young people is incredible. I was hooked from beginning to end. Impossible to put this story down. A rather complex but tender and heartbreaking relationship. The author managed to capture this strange and complex feeling of being a student, young, carefree who enter adult life with apprehension. It's very deep.
