It was hard to rate this book, mainly because of the vast nothingness I felt throughout it, but I feel like that enhanced the experience! It was slow and gloomy, and gorgeously written. It was strange, but I so thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read more Sally Rooney.

3/5/24: upon much reflection I have realized that I actually really enjoyed this. I love Sally Rooney’s very stream of consciousness writing style, because it feels very natural for me, seeing as I myself speak and type in a very stream of consciousness way. Bringing my rating up to 4⭐️s
