Before this, I had not read anything by the Irish writer Sally Rooney.
At first, I didn’t find her characters or the slow pace of the plot very appealing. But I stuck with the novel because I liked the two main characters—brothers who have recently lost their father.

The younger brother is a chess prodigy who is on the spectrum and lacks any social skills.

I love that she includes her faults, risks, struggles, and failures as a part of the overall picture. The love story between her and Jeffrey is honest, and I appreciate her candor throughout the whole book.
