Honestly, if you’re not enjoying it, you are allowed to DNF. I kept reading, hoping for the ah-ha moment, but it never really happened (part of the point, I believe). Rooney is not for everyone (and def not for me), though I can tell she has a lot of talent.
• A beautifully written coming-of-age novel about an intense summer romance between two young men in Italy. It captures the same emotional depth and character-driven storytelling as Normal People, but with a more traditional narrative style.
I attached the links in the titles above to their Amazon pages for you to check them out. Enjoy!
