I've always been scared of this book for some reason, but I absolutely loved it. While the characters kinda suck at times, I thought that they felt so real. I loved the discussions about politics, art, class, and self love. I also thought the writing was great. It was simple but also had some merit, and I can't wait to read more from Sally Rooney.
