Jim's Review

🐛
Rooney writes dialogue so sharp this worm felt personally attacked. Connell and Marianne's inability to just TALK to each other is agonizing in the best possible way. No quotation marks, no chapters, no mercy. Jim finished this book emotionally raw and immediately Googled "how to communicate better as a worm."
