My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was so nice reading what Connell and Marianne were thinking as opposed to guessing what the bloody hell they were thinking when they said or did certain things. I had much more sympathy for both characters when I read the book compared to the tv series.
I enjoyed it especially when Rooney switched between Connell and Marianne’s reflections of the same conversation or events that had led to misunderstandings. Their perceptions at those points were so unfortunately coloured by negative thoughts of themselves and their respective emotional baggage. Felt very tragic every time.
Still gets 3 stars since I felt more optimistic for their future as a couple compared to the tv series and I always want a happy ending.
