Overhyped and overrated. The writing is easy to get through, and I did finish the book quickly. I couldn’t connect to the characters at all and their actions often made no sense. It wasn’t even that I disliked them, I just didnt care. I expected something deeper based on the 5 star reviews, but it’s like just emotional book without logic.
More about the book
"At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He's popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne's house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers--one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they're both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other"-- Amazon.com

The writing is easy to follow, though readers shouldn’t expect particularly rich or literary language. While the beginning starts off a bit slow, the story quickly gains momentum and soon becomes impossible to put down.
