具体描述
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 MAN BOOKER PRIZE A wondrous and wise coming-of-age love story from the celebrated author of Conversations with Friends 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. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.

##啊！想不出怎么表达我的感受啊，好像写作故事本身也没有什么特别的，但是就是让我很揪心，有种言情片的感觉，剧情尤其是结尾真实到有点残忍😭😭。好希望自己内心戏能跟书中人物一样多，以放大十倍的方式感受生活。无法想象Hulu怎么能把书中所表达的这么强烈的情感放到并没有内心独白的屏幕上，大概需要依靠音乐了
##对电视剧做了一定的补充 自己很难去面对曾经的自己，和Connell一样，自卑，讨好其他人，不敢在其他人面前承认我和她的关系，搞得偷偷摸摸，而且对她的关心也十分的敷衍，不知道自己到底想要什么，幼稚的把所有错都怪在她头上，哎
##对于这种一般现在时往前走，然后在用一般过去式插叙的写法很喜欢。这是读原文才有的精髓体验。极为简单的词和句子就cover了大部分的感受，而中间突兀的大段学术论述则显得非常反讽……
比处女座conversation with friends进步不少，但是不及同名电视剧。选的两位演员氛围太好了，要灵有灵要肉有肉。几乎每一集都出现的性让Marianne和Connell之间的吸引力更加有说服力，让这份吸引力更肌体化。这种吸引力在Rob的葬礼上最为突出，Connell和Marianne几乎是下意识的拥抱让全部环境虚化成背景。
##略失望 此书少了前作的灵气 还是期待一下盛名在外的同名改编剧集吧 不过作者的审美依旧非常对味 又一次在关键情节看到熟悉的《Emma》闪现的《The Umbrellas of Cherbourg》以及在处女作里提及的Françoise Hardy和Frank O'Hara 都是心头好
##better than Conversations w/ Friends but still don't fully understand the hype
##虽然书里有电视剧体现不出的细节，但BBC和Hulu对男女主角的选角、改编都太棒了，书的时间架构反而显得乱糟糟的
##比一般的爱情小说更精炼、野心更大，把成长放在内向性格、原生家庭（阶级）的背景里。到最后，normal = 与自我握手言和 = 只是追求知识的nice person?
