Sally Rooney never misses, obviously a banger. Peter needs therapy. At the beginning, I wasn’t a fan of Peter’s chapters because I didn’t like the prose, but as it went on it was clear that it was reflective of his disjointed and depressed mind. I loved Ivan from the start, and relate to both brothers in many ways. I really enjoyed the exploration of sibling dynamics, Rooney hasn’t  done it before but it was super well done and realistic in my opinion.
