Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
4.25
emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This might have been better as a print book due to inner thoughts of the characters while within a conversation. Rooney’s writing is achingly beautiful and while this could be her happiest work, it still puts the reader through an emotional wringer. I liked these characters and still wanted to know more about Naomi and Sylvia, but overall I enjoyed listening to how the characters connected and grew in the storyline.
