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.

##算是我第一次读英文小说（以前的什么牛津书虫系列不算）。这些年我也不怎么读小说了，所以读起来是参杂着一种久违的感觉的。读小说也是因为看电视剧被吸引。这本看似言情小说，实际上是一种自我剖析（或者说自省和自恋掺杂）的文本。去维基百科上查查Sally Rooney的生平就知道，两位主人公的原型就是作者自己，她把自己一分为二成一对男女，把成长的体悟投射到这对男女的关系之中。也正是因为如此，整个故事太内向了，这种内向却也是它吸引人的地方。
##实在无法理解Sally在年轻一代作家中是如何蜚声国际的…到底是哪些人在吹彩虹屁…小说女主人公的设定是非normal people，全程看下来，没觉得她哪里不正常了，如果放到欧美人个性谱系里，更是不要太正常。即便要写不正常的人，她的功力跟ottessa比差太远了，ottessa都没火爆文坛，怎么sally就先成爆款了？故事读完，唯一的触动是，年轻人每天与酒和X相伴，真的好开心。

##这种intimate and secretive feeling真的让人窒息……但是用词什么的有点plain，而且我文学素养不高感觉就和大白话一样，但是还是蛮细腻 就是美国小言情啦，有点小丧小作小清新
##浪费了宝贵的八小时听完这本青春疼痛文学。优点是很擅于描写青少年微妙的心理活动，但大部分时候我只觉得蛋疼。@Libby
##不知为啥，脑中自动对应到The end of the fucking world 里的Alyssa和James的形象，尤其是前期中学时代。ps: Sally的叙事有种摩登的细腻感，期待一下电影版！
##better than Conversations w/ Friends but still don't fully understand the hype
