The Sally Rooney comparison seems lazy and obvious but, just like when I read Normal People, I'm not sure I liked anyone in this book but I was very invested in finding out what would happen to them. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending though, it felt very much like a decision that was made for Ava, rather than one she made herself, so that's probably knocked half a star off. 

I loved the little notes on the Irish/Dublin way of speaking English and the many little jabs at the English in general.
