konnte mit ihrem schreibstil nichts anfangen und empfand es als etwas langweilig bzw. random aufgeteilt
wholesome and cute and yet sometimes deep. it's nice to see their story unfold and just tag along for a bit
Don’t get me wrong, I am aware that Sally Rooney is a good author. Yet that still doesn’t change the fact that I simply don’t enjoy her writing/books. I feel exhausted reading her novels and if it wasn’t for a friend lending me her book I would have been happy never reading this one. It wasn’t awful but at the end of the day it wasn’t a good experience either.
