This book was not what I'd thought it would be - I don't fault it for that, though it took me a while to get into it as a result. I also don't understand or particularly like Marianne, though I certainly don't fault the book for that. It wasn't the best book I've read, with unrelatable characters whose motivations at times feel almost too well explored, and who were sometimes a bit unrealistically self aware, but it was beautifully written. I don't often deface my books, but there was a sentence on page 221 that I couldn't help but underline.
A worthwhile read, especially with the show now available, and I will certainly look for more from Sally Rooney.
