Margaret is especially boring. Never have i ever encountered such a boring and useless character. She says the most basic things like “ah that’s nice” and that’s about it.

How boring. Rooney is incapable of creating a full bodied female character. Each of her novels has the same “cool girl” martyr chasing male validation. All the sex scenes are just awful. I don’t know why i keep doing this to myself. Should’ve given up on her after Beautiful world

More mature than the previous novels but still very millennial. Stream of consciousness kind of storytelling which is new for Sally Rooney. This book feels like a logical continuation of her previous work.
