I enjoyed this book having first watched the television series which kept very true to the book. An interesting depth of the insecurities and misunderstandings of 2 young teenagers who start a relationship in schooldays through to their university years. A beautiful portrayal of a deep true love between Connell and Marianne.

Complete rubbish. See the Amazon reviews. Don't waste your money (and your time) reading this.

I am very fussy with literature but this book held me until the end. It wasn’t the best book I have ever read but the author certainly captures the essence of young love from the perspective of both characters.

Interesting novel and easy to read but quite difficult to follow in places as there are no speech marks so it's not always easy to follow whether it is description or a comment made by the characters. I also did not enjoy the unfinished and abrupt ending!

Lovely story, interesting characters. As I had already seen the series, I could easily relate to the book. Hand on heart, I preferred the TV series more, as they brought the characters to life and I found it easier to follow. In the book, the storyline fluctuated too often between current and past tense, which I found a little confusing.

Really good book, sometimes a bit of a confusing read due to the lack of quotation marks but overall pretty good! If you liked the BBC adaptation, you’ll definitely love the book. Came in perfect condition and in great time
