Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.
There are some relatable moments in this but over all it got boring and felt pointless. I skipped around after reading 200 pages and.... didn't care to continue.

I did love the book, and I love the author but I had to stick with a 3 star because Marianne and Connell just upset me so much 🥲

The main plot of this book is so original and intresting and was the main thing that kept me reading but the whole 23 year old who gets mad for not knowing she couldve been a trust fund baby transplanting to Brooklyn to find the other rejected trust fund babies is a little...... sex on the Q train???? I mean Ik ik but ????? Im sorry cant accept it LOL. Honestly would've rated it higher if I wasn't raised along the Q line, it's a little cringe reading about transplants but overall it was a great book once I looked past that.
