Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
4.5
challenging emotional tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

What a fantastic book about grief and relationships! I liked the perspective changes we get and how its displayed through the length of sentences and paragraphs. The characters were complex and interesting and I loved being in their heads and hearing their internal debates and struggles.  I loved some of the symbolism used and the observations they make.
