Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
3.25
dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

At the center of this book are two brothers who are grieving the death of their father and trying to get their love and professional lives together. Emphasis on trying...

I felt most for Sylvie who is dealing with chronic pain after a car accident and struggles with seeing herself as a complete person post accident.

In classic Rooney style, expect a whirlwind of miscommunication, destructive behavior, and a dash of capitalist critique.
