Hmm I think I did feel like I enjoyed it by the end, but I just finished Intermezzo (this was the only Rooney book I hadn’t read) and I feel like I am understanding why a lot of people didn’t like this book

Rooney is so great at fleshing out her characters and making you feel like you’ve spent so much time with them. That being said, I don’t know if I really felt these characters were all that likable, even though the book is meant to portray realistic struggles and thoughts that people in their late-20s (read: my age) go through. 

Also there was just too much sex but maybe that’s just me—I felt like at least the sex scenes in Intermezzo were helpful in driving the plot along/giving the reader a deeper understanding of the characters
