my first sally rooney book and i fell in love almost instantly. reading rooney’s writing feels like deconstructing a jigsaw to get a closer look at each piece, just to put it all back together again in the end. such a beautiful commentary on human behaviour through a group of characters who are morally-ambiguous at best, whilst not lacking humour or being overly intellectual. i couldn’t put this book down and didn’t want it to end.

i DEVOURED this book. such a gripping account of evelyn’s life, a page-turner and enjoyable from beginning to end. great representation too! i fell in love with all of the characters so quickly. SO magnificent.

i’m obsessed with this book. a really unique commentary on mental health through the perspective of a quirky protagonist with a questionable moral compass. i admire the writer’s ability to take such a dark and nuanced topic and explore it in a humorous and somewhat light-hearted way. one of my top reads of the year!
