Early in Sally Rooney's new novel,Intermezzo, a character who at that point, we're not sure whether we like or not, has the following thought: "Plain, unappealing people are by no means exempt from the experience of strong passion." That seemed unnecessarily mean -- like, obvious to the point that it goes without saying.
It was really well thought out and rooney really put a lot of consideration into it..... and I hated it lol
"It was really, really....interesting." 😂
I just hated the characters all so much that I celebrated the ending
Ha fair enough. I actually liked the characters a lot -- even Peter, who is a schmuck, but is strangely sympathetic (at least he was to me).
I do appreciate the level of thought and care she put in to the book. I can't fault her for that.
