I actually liked this! After I beard that the book does not use quotation marks, I felt a bit sceptical, but I enjoyed it in the end. Connell and Marianne just needed open communication, and I didn’t like that they couldn’t be happy together. The plot was interesting, but it did feel flat in some areas. It was a good length and had complex characters, but could have Ben developed. Overall, an interesting and unique read by Sally Rooney.
