Moving a lot quicker than I expected! Lucy just admitted to herself she loves Susannah and it was very obvious right off the bat.
I thought it would be more of a gradual self discovery but I’m enjoying it so far!
Some parts, especially family dynamics, seem a bit repetitive but I’m curious to see how the plot will advance

Now that it’s been 2 years fast forward and Lucy (insufferable) is with Martin, this is starting to remind me a lot of Normal People but less moving… I just feel like the writing isn’t super special.
But I like it! I think that Lucy will stay with Martin which is unfortunate but she’s also super annoying sooo

Lucy is so insane what the hell. I feel so bad for Martin.
Again, the writing could be better. Specifically Lucy will say conflicting things about how she feels about a situation. Like that that she loves Martin and she shouldn’t be using him but then that she doesn’t care. I feel like characterising her as the latter would make her character more complex - right now shes a bit flimsy

I’m enjoying this! Again, it progressed super fast and now they are together. I came into it thinking that it was going to be more of a slowburn but it’s focused now on them being a secret.
The writing is good but not great. It’s set in the 80s-90s but it feels oddly modern and some descriptions just miss the mark.
I think if the characters stayed a bit younger, the writing style would make more sense.
