this book made me feel so many things and think so many things. i genuinely think it has changed me as a person. Connell and Marianne are two deeply flawed characters yet in nearly every aspect of their lives i find a reflection of mine. if the ending hadn’t ended the way it did it would make the book feel unfinished, yet it still is unfinished. they have so much of their lives ahead of them, but their story in the novel had ended. i absolutely need another 17 million sequels to their story, but they will not come and i understand why. Connell and Marianne kept making the same choices and expecting. different outcome and i don’t know if anything else would have transpired if there was more to their story. five stars.
