I putt off reading this book for a long time because I’d heard either very positive or very negative things. Why did I do that? This book was absolutely incredible. The writing, the characters, everything. Amazing. The depths to which you feel you know these characters is insane. They feel so real for words printed on a page and I just wanted the best for them the whole way through. Sally Rooney is a master of the human condition and especially of human relationships and I am never going to shut up about this book.
