Reviewed by AntoniaBeautiful book about people searching for meaning in this rapidly changing world. Such interesting characters and definitely my favorite Sally Rooney so far.
Reviewed by Luis ALVIch finds sehr geil, wie eine chlichè Histoire wird zu schönem Roman indem er gut geschrieben wird. Katastrophale Gefühle und wie wir durchs Leben leben lernen sind auch sehr interessant, sowie gender Dynamiks.

Reviewed by MelIt was too real, the pain, the urge for a better world. And the man was, in my eyes, so uncomfortable, it made me want to skip the pages. But I loved their letters, this honest way if describing a friendship made me shiver.
