I loved it so much (didn't put a 5 cause the ending was not the closure i needed) i could've read 1000 pages of Marianne and Connell. It's a certain weird that i'm attached to.

I really enjoyed Rooney's style of composition, starting up each chapter with describing the setup like an eye witness then delving bit by bit into the character's thoughts and reminiscence. A structure that's repeated throughout, that feels like assembling a puzzle piece by piece.
