There are four characters: Bobbi and Frances, along with the married couple Nick and Melissa. The book is written in an interesting way, particularly in depicting the complex relationships among these four individuals. While I found it enjoyable to read, I didn't particularly like the characters. Perhaps it was the elements of cheating and jealousy that didn't resonate with me. However, I must acknowledge that Sally Rooney's writing is truly exceptional. Therefore, I would give the book a rating of 3 stars out of 5, deducting 2 stars due to my dislike for Melissa and Frances. Neither of them can solely be blamed for their actions, as they were both engaged in questionable behavior (actually all of them).
