I'm not entirely sure on my thoughts on this book yet so bare with me. But, I think this was a very well-written, hard to read book that I honestly probably need to read a second time to fully grasp. It's a great exploration of friendship, relationships, abuse and mental health and I definitely recommend it, just please if you're sensitive to anything in media, check out trigger warnings first because Sally Rooney doesn't shy away from anything!



Trigger Warnings: relationship cheating, domestic abuse, physical and mental abuse (big theme), depression, sexual assault, suicide, alcohol & drug use, casual racism (addressed & called out), depression, death of a parent (in the past), unhealthy/toxic romantic & platonic relationships, rarely eating (female), anxiety, suicide ideation, panic attacks (not on the page), uni student counselling, funeral, death of a friend, bullying, grief
(there also might have been a biphobic comment earlier in the book I can't quite remember)
