A review by ashleigheva
At the Clinic by Sally Rooney

4.0

i am just going to paste dump the parts that stood out to me since this was a digital read:
Marianne takes significant personal pleasure in having her pain validated by professionals.

For a moment she pretends to be engaged in reading. He can see she’s deciding what to do or say. The workings of Marianne’s mind become transparent to him in brief flashes like this before they recede again.
 
the latex of the dentist’s gloves tastes sadomasochistic

She hopes that her brash curiosity appears dismissive.
