Wow, what a book! I was pleasantly surprised. Normally, I tend to read the same books over and over again but while I was visiting home the other week I saw this book on my shelf and thought, what the hell I might as well give this a read seeing as so many people I know have raved about the TV adaptation and a few had mentioned the book to me. Honestly, this book is excellent. I was not expecting to like it at all and I ended up falling in love with it by the end. In fact, I did end up crying at the book. The story is set in Dublin and follows the lives of Connell and Marianne and how the love that they have for each other allows them to still end up with one another despite the twists and turns each others separate lives take. Once I started reading, I found it hard to put down which has not happened with me and a book in an extremely long time. I would thoroughly recommend reading it. This book really touched me and it’s difficult to put into words the way this book made me feel. Definitely a 5 stars out of 5 book and I would give it so much more if I could and these reviews weren’t just out of 5 ;’D. I love this book so much and it definitely has a special place in my heart now.
