Well, when I first started reading it I was obsessed, I found Frances relatable. But as I kept reading, she became progressively more annoying, the plot got dumber and dumber and all those PERFORMATIVE "DEEP" conversations they had made me wanna stab myself with a pen in the neck. Also, can Sally Rooney stop romanticizing EDs and self harm?! The book needs to have some serious trigger warnings.
