I think Connell grew for the better with the 'break up'. As he was the problem, he faced consequences that allowed him to reflect more. I'm curious to see how this dynamic shifts. For Marianne, she learned to have her pride if only slightly.

It's crazy to think that the Palestinian suffering plays such a role in this book. Especially after 2022.

I'm not shocked they broke up. I bet the onset of the depression further caused distress.

Poor girl. When something like this happens of Connell, she wants to fight but to herself, she sees her being a petulant child.

Okay... Jaime... You like Helen but you don't love her. You like what person she is almost like a friend. The fact that you were okay to think it was fine to cheat is not someone who loves someone does.

Honestly, I respect that Connell focuses on Helen and tries to maintain boundaries. This is just an awkward situation to be around.

It's honestly sad that he still needs Marianne in his life. He cannot be truly in love with another when he always goes back to her and their 'relationship'.

Okay, Peggy is cheating with Jamie 100%. She's also jealous of Marianne's character.
