waybeyondblue 's review for:

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
1.75
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

What happened between Conversations with Friends and here? 😭 

Peter's POV was almost impenetrable. Both main characters - two brothers - unlikable. Plot was drawn out and uninteresting. And I really didn't like the portrayal of disability ('I can't possibly be in a relationship because I'm disabled' - wtf) or neurodivergence.

DNF about three quarters of the way through, but should have given up sooner.
