3.0

Took me a long time to get into this book. I enjoyed parts of the story however, the story didn't really go anywhere at all. Being around a similar age to main character I did have some shared feelings and experiences so I did connect to the characters, but I did not warm to the female characters at all. The male characters were more likeable and Felix did add some light moments to the otherwise mundane story. It is a shame because I really enjoyed Sally Rooney's other novels so was really looking forward to reading this one. Although, my overall view of the book was meh,
I did like the ending seeing the girls remaining friends and in different happier points in their lives
