it is rare for me to be so deep in rooney’s book and still not hooked. the main issue i’m having so far is characters show an excessive amount of overthinking, which is relatable, to a point. hopefully there’s more growth in the coming pages

almost DNFed. the chapters from Peter’s perspective are so hard to read. sentences begin with no subject, and i have to carry this huge cognitive load of making sense of what’s going on. not enjoyable. but i was reading reviews and apparently this is how james joyce writes?
constant struggle of reading in a second language: i feel like much of my bandwidth is expended on making sense of the language.
