"Can I be honest? I refused to read Sally Rooney for years because I felt like people who loved her were the pretentious sort of readers who look down on romance/genre (I’m mainly talking reviewers and podcasters and not necessarily friends), but I finally decided to try her out and yup- I like it. Not a 5 star, but looking like a 4 lol" — 1 hour, 49 min ago

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”
