sally rooney… the writer that you are

sally… you literary BEAST! so so genius. oh she’s taking it!

hating felix is not enough, i need a gun (GOODREADS THIS IS A JOKE OK). i’m being dramatic, but the end of chapter 21… OMG WOAH?????? absolute emotional LASHINGS at alice omg😭

the episode of eileen finding out simon is seeing someone else… so real and so cleverly written. so much more than meets the eye! the decision to make simon’s character a ‘good’ christian… nailed it.

“the wound of my origins” UM OW?

ROONEY! you FREAKY GYAL!

been in one of the worst reading slumps, or just general slumps ever and this book got caught in the mess of that. i’m back now and it’s been great!
