📚A very popular book, but if you havent read it yet... I recommend it.
Devoured it in a few hours first time I read it. The way the characters view relationships is very in line with my own. To the point where since reading it I have a relationship with a similar dynamic since (don't know if I recommend that). The point of the book, to me, has always been to showcase the difference forms love can take on, even when the feelings are unchanging.
Other than that Sally Rooney is just a really good writer, is tapped into interesting discourses which she weaves into her stories, and she knows how to make a character problematic in ways that feel relatable and honest instead of foreign or scary. + i just really like stories about 20-something-year-olds being themselves, figuring shit out without much plot holding it together.
My best friend gave it a 1/5 stars on Goodreads bc she thought everyone was boring and whiny sooo like.. it's not for everyone maybe.

🗺just finished the book by Sally Rooney and i really liked it! i’m a big fan of her writing style and i just love how the book is a really good character study! would recommend for people who love character development and complex people, would not recommend for people who don’t like really slow, not much going on, 3-page paragraphs, and people talking for whole chapters books.
pd: every time i read a Sally Rooney book i get the urge in me to write a book. i love writing so maybe i need to take the next step in my goals lol!!!

After a highly anticipated wait I finally received my copy from the library this morning. I’m already 4 chapters in—couldn’t stop reading—and it’s spectacular. Easily her best book since Normal People, if not better. As always Rooney’s characters are complex and flawed, but that’s what makes them loveable. I like how she writes Peter’s prose in the style of James Joyce—it reads like Ulysses.

i watched it last night and i cannot stop talking about it. cole sprouse's physical comedy paired with kathryn newtons stellar line delivery makes this such a wonderful movie. so funny and camp and i had to rewatch it immediately. beautiful set design and directing. a love letter to the eighties and horror movies as a genre. the soundtrack is also just perfect. id really recommend you watch this film!!
i hope you are well, friend.

completely enamored. there is so much humanity here. little foot taps and hums. every variation is just wonderful. getting to listen to the evolution of some of the greatest songs is such a treat.
