GG finished reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
I appreciate that Sally Rooney is a cult favorite, but this is my third book of hers, and I think I just don’t like her style. I understand what she’s trying to do — documenting very naturalistic dialogue and interactions in meticulous detail, from multiple perspectives — and I think she’s good at it. But the pacing, as these details are thoroughly recounted, is too slow to hold my attention, and the “surprise” resolution of the plot just isn’t that big of a deal (these days the concept of a “throuple” is so common that it’s become a cliché). So even though this is the book I liked the most out of the three I’ve read, I wouldn’t recommend it.
