Jim's Review
🐛
Rooney writes dialogue so sharp it feels like a personal attack. Connell and Marianne's inability to just TALK to each other is agonizing in the best possible way. No quotation marks, no chapters, no mercy. You'll finish this book emotionally raw and immediately Google "how to communicate better."
