Sally Rooney never ceases to amaze me. This book was wonderful. Between telling the story of two girls going through life and their letters towards each other I found this book divided into two parts. One part was the plot where everything happens and the other was the letters where the girls expressed their thoughts about everything. I enjoyed the letters way too much since I love reading philosophical texts but I also enjoyed their lives and their partners. The ending was great although I didn't quite understand how we went to that point. However, I love Sally Rooney and this book just proves that even further.
