4.5

actually i liked this book a lot more than i thought i would. i think culturally we give connell as a character too much slack, sometimes he is a bit of an arse. but it’s a highly relatable and astute story about modern day relationships and their complications. does connell actually go to new york? i think he does. i hope they both move on and find someone else who can make them happy and can look back on each other as people who helped them both grow.
