I wanted to give Rooney books another chance after not totally loving Conversation with Friends, and I liked this one much more! 
I am definitely a plot driven reader rather than a character reader, so physically reading her books seems very monotonous, but I listened to the audiobook this time around and I think that’s what I need to do if I read more of her novels. 
I enjoyed watching the characters grow and go through their changing relationships with each other. They all seemed very real, and not likable all the time, which made me like them more.
