The wetting style is sally rooney is so unlike anything else i’ve read. It’s almost sterile in the lack of metaphors and drawn out explications, but honestly I think that it added so much to the book. The whole point is that these are normal people who’s lives aren’t perfect and amazing things don’t happen just because. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t need super frilly writing to keep them interested, it’s definitely not the type of book that will be universally loved. That being said please check tw before starting this book it delves into some really dark topics.
