reflective
sad
medium-paced

Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Two unlikable girls and two likeable boys hang out and fall in love and it’s a happy ending despite the girls being classic literary sad girls. Still very readable but you can’t help but feel like Rooney is trying to sound more intelligent than you are. While I enjoyed reading it, I don’t get the mega hype of Rooney and for Irish love stories I’d recommend Emer McLysaght instead. Far more amusing and less pretentiousness.
