seichtes Geplänkel, gute Sprecherin

Der Plot ist ziemlich seicht und die Charaktere kindisch. Die Beziehungsebene ist gut beschrieben und kommt trotz der einfach Sprache gut zum Ausdruck. Die Sprecherin ist super.

Maybe her best book yet

I remember when I first read the book, I found it really nerve-wracking, those characters that love each other but struggle to get along. At times it made me angry. Now, maybe two years later, listening to the audiobook, I have come to fully appreciate the novel. I really learned something about people who are a lot different from me and my close friends, but maybe similar to other people that I have always struggled to understand.
Also, it is excellently read.

Touching but a bit boring

The narration is a bit weird. All the men get a voice that sounds like they're just stupid.
The story gets more interesting towards the end, but it's kind of just trickling along most of the time. The writing is good though, so it's still touching from time to time. The ending is undeniably horrible... Not gonna listen to her other novels

Sally Rooney never disappoints

What a beautiful, gripping story covering so many themes and questions in life. Loved it.

Not the best Sally Rooney but also, the reading

So the reader of this, Aoife McMahon, was perfectly fine, nice clear voice, wonderful accent. The problem were the male voices, which I assume are done by her using a different voice? Why is this a thing now? They make all male characters sound stupid, and they take you out of the story all the time. Makes it unbearable. This is not a play, but an audiobook, I’d rather the reader used her own, great, voice for all dialogues

The irritable thoughts of irritable people

Four privileged, unlikeable friends natter on about their perspectives on god and the world. Especially cringeworthy are the sex scenes “you have such a lovely tight c***t”
And the solution to all your problems - get pregnant and get married. Sorry, I am too old and too much of a feminist to appreciate that kind of thinking.
At least it was read in a convincing Irish accent.

A lot of suffering

After having suffered hours through this audio-book where EVERYONE seems to constantly suffer, I‘d give one star in all categories. But the parts where the story covers more philosophical questions of life were not as bad as the rest and I first liked the speaker’s voice… until it got unbearably tragic-sounding. In the end, the message seems to be: however desperate you are with your job or the pandemic, try to get pregnant. Ouch!

Not for me

I enjoyed Sally Rooneys other work, but I really struggled to get through this. The e-mail exchange just felt like boring filler

Boring and cliché

The story was basically privileged people being depressed although they are rich. They have nothing to do or add to this world. Also feels more like a detailed script of a netflix production than a book. The male voices were really weirdly done and the sex scenes just became cringe because of it.
