3.5-3.75⭐️ bro this book literally has me so damaged. so so damaged. 

okay let’s talk about what i didn’t like and then go up to what i absolutely loved. 

for starters we have no quotation marks and the writing style is in third person. i know a bunch of people dnf reads like this but i’ve read so many third person books i looked over it rather quickly.

the plot i had a whole love hate relationship with it because i had such a love hate relationship with marianne and connell. they literally frustrated me to my core but i also can’t imagine anyone else being my man characters.

the quote of this book are phenomenal. 

the ending i was a bit disappointed because sally rooney HOW YOU LEFT ME THERE LIKE THAT. no epilogue?? i’m dying here i want more. 

will i be watching the hulu tv series? yes. because booktok made me cry twice just by the actors voice. so i’ll probably be back and alter my review or star rating after i watch the series hoping that the book was better than the show or maybe the show will make me like it more??? do i think y’all should read this? yes but when you go into it it’s not what you think it is. also check tws before reading<3
