The story itself was dull and very tiring. The main characters kept having miscommunications which was frustrating and I feel like the book portrayed LOVE in such an emotional abusive way, where they kept using each other for sex as a comfort but then keeps hurting each other and lightly saying how much they mean to each other, which made no sense at all. I get it. Many people act this way because we don't really think clearly when we are broken. Even I related to some parts deeply and felt a sense of connection to the characters. However, the story drags so long and in the end, neither of the main characters really made improvements. Until the end, Connell will keep using Marianne for sex and Marianne will rely on Connell to prove that her existence is somewhat worthy.

Makes you think how a small act can greatly impact another person's life. However, the issue mentioned was more serious than the book made it seem.

I loved the characters especially Joyce! I think she was the reason I kept going. The pacing was a bit slow for my taste but enjoyed how everything started to make sense in the end. Lighthearted and a fun read :)
