This was my first Sally Rooney and I had a hard time getting into the whole writing style. I did love how Peter's side was more cramped together whereas Ivan's flowed a bit more easily. I enjoyed it and loved the side characters more than anything. It was a beautifully woven story about brotherhood and grief (which I enjoyed) and for fans of her work, I think it's gonna be a good read.
