4.0

A realistic story following the complicated relationship between Connell and Marianne over the course of a few years. It is captivating to watch their connection strengthen and weaken, much like real life. Overall I enjoyed this book however I didn't find it as hooking as I would have hoped. The character's seemed slightly bland but that didn't ruin the book for me.
