i'll probably think about this book for a long time. not sure what's yet to happen. not *that* much has really happened so far (feels like it, though). the way it's written is so vivid and personal that it feels like i'm in my head replaying my own memories. i'd understand if someone found the book boring tbh but i am finding it really lovely and engaging. will definitely read more from this author :)

my first sally rooney book! i'm enjoying it so far :)

beautiful prose, unique structure, complex multi-layered storytelling. but i don't know if i can get through 400 more pages of this. i'm finding that i wish there were chapters or more strongly-defined pauses to catch my breath and process. trying to trust the author to reveal things in their due time but ultimately feeling confused and like reading this is a chore so far :/ i will try to push through!
