What Members Thought

After completing this book, I felt, why these two people had/having such a complicated relationship?. I feel reason for that is not justified or not revealed clearly.

Ancora una volta Sally Rooney mi ha colpito per come riesca bene a raccontare gli amori moderni. A primo impulso può sembrare un semplice libro adolescenziale e invece i personaggi principali sono molto complessi, nascondono ferite casi incolmabili e insieme cercano di superarle, anche senza accorgersene, vagano lontani ma poi si ritrovano sempre.
