Wow, another great one by my Queen Sally Rooney! I relate to Marianne, that unrequited love that hurts, and how she is willing to appreciate crumbs from Connell just because she'd rather have something than nothing, ugh. I wanted to cry for her. Connell seems to slowly realize that he feels something other than sexual intimacy for her through the stroy, and it left me having a form of hope for them as a couple, despite not wanting Marianne to take him after all the years of being sidelined. I have so much more I could say about this 10 page story, its wild. Thats just what Sally awakens in me haha.
