this book is absolutely maddening I think this book will drive you crazy if you let it if you think about it for far too long but I think on the lighter and brighter side is a love letter to readers everywhere and I really felt that I really felt seen I really felt appreciated as a reader and it was just nice

Loved

I like sped through this there was like something in this book that I could not could not keep reading the words for like I was just hooked I don't know what it was it was so extremely readable I got literally kind of addicted to it and I just loved it

Loved

I read this book and I fell in love with Sally Rooney's writing I think she's an incredibly intelligent woman the way that she wrote stuff and portrayed these two people Connell and Maryanne I was like oh wow if I ever need to check my makeup or how my hair's doing or something I can just look into this book because it's a goddamn mirror

Loved

ultimately it's just about like human hope and storytelling and like our love of the light and our fear of the dark and of death and like our just humanness like The Human Condition seriously like I think this is such a profound Exquisite little book for like kids

Loved

this is one of those books that I wouldn't honestly care to reread but I would definitely like to write an essay on it and I would like to talk about it deeply with some people because this is disturbing
