This was the first book I read from Sally Rooney and I’m hoping I’ll like the others since I wanted to dnf this book maybe 15 times. I can almost always find something in a book that I like so I’ll put the one thing/quote I enjoyed,”I isolated myself from criticism so I could behave badly without losing my sense of righteousness.” Sorry to the friends who recommended this to me because it’s one of their favorites… I have endless problems with this book.

Loved reading a classic fairy tale, this story took me back into the fantasy and storytelling I grew up with. Any story with wolves and a magical woodLoved reading a classic fairy tale, this story took me back into the fantasy and storytelling I grew up with. Any story with wolves and a magical wood I will probably buy, and this one left me with a cozy feeling in the middle of winter. I will say it felt like something was lacking, but for the price and size of this book it met all of my expectations....more
