At the Clinic by Sally Rooney
4.0

i wanted to read the beginnings of sally rooney’s journey of these characters and honestly it’s a wonderful starting point. seeing how she developed connell and marianne into the characters we know today is so cool; seeing what she kept with our two characters and what she didn’t. i saw people say that this would make a wonderful epilogue to the book and it would… if you hate optimism and happy endings????
i don’t know, the way the book ended i just cant ever see marianne and connell reverting to these ways again, all i’ll say is there’s a reason why the book doesn’t have/need an epilogue and why this the beginning of sally’s journey of what would later become normal people.
