Reviews9

Disliked

Part one of this book was so good and I was thinking this was gonna be like a five-star book new favorite for me and then the second half of this book just completely ruined everything that I loved about this book and it turned into this cliche dramatic like over the top just complete shitshow of a book.

Disliked

This main character was just kind of driving me nuts in this book like she was incredibly shallow I felt like and she only would talk about her sex life like all the time like it's literally half what the book is about you know and I just didn't care.

Disliked

For the first like hundred pages I was thinking I was really gonna enjoy this book like it was very funny it had this like hate to love vibe going on and they were working together in an office and it was just like everything but then it just took a turn like somewhere in the middle of the story and it just got so like cringy. It turned from like hate to love vibes into like something else and it was just like not fun to read anymore.

Disliked

This book has like one of the coolest premises I've ever heard. But the reason behind why they are doing it's completely illogical and it just doesn't make any sense and it's stupid.

Disliked

I feel like Sally Rooney's writing is just not for me like I just did not click with it at all. This writing style was just not it for me like it was just really hard to connect with the characters because of it.

Mixed

The red lady stories were really creepy and I was like legit scared when I was reading this book like it was really creepy and it was doing its job but then I felt like the adult chapters that it was going like in alternating chapters were so boring and so unnecessary for this story.

Disliked

This book was just so meh like I didn't like the relationship between the teenagers they were very instant love and annoying and then I just didn't care by the time they were adults. I did not feel any chemistry between these characters.
