Like Sally Rooney, but with a plot.
Normalise having awesome and vibrant and textured characters AND an interesting and convoluted plot.
I love the move of building up to something, and it is done exceptionally here. The tragedy is not disappointing. Non-linear storytelling is not confusing but logical and inspiring.
