I loved the book. It was a great read. After the first three-quarters, I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to keep reading about the characters. This is my second Rooney after Normal People. While NP is all about feelings, there were many parts that felt unnecessary. Intermezzo is a big improvement in that regard. It felt more organized and better composed, while still maintaining that flowing prose. The only disappointing part was the ending. I expected at least one of the resolutions to be different from what we got.

If you have read any Rooney before and enjoyed it, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
