panWhen I started this book, I wasn‘t expecting it to (appear to) be some kind of therapy writing, but that‘s what I felt like I got. I‘m very much not this book‘s demographic, so that probably will affect my appreciation, but I found the privileged pretentious student vibe annoying, the story moves horrendously slowly, and two main characters are too wrapped up in themselves to be able to truly understand the others‘s feelings and needs.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickThis gave me vibes of Sally Rooney combined with the Before Midnight trilogy; a friendship/love story with sections spanning four separate years, amidst the academia of Oxford. If I‘m honest it was the Oxford academia that put me off; the narration had me feeling left out of these students‘ intense intellectual discussions in a way I never feel with Sally Rooney‘s writing, and some of the dialogue didn‘t ring true to me. A low pick.
