"Let’s face it. I love Sally Rooney. I also found out Joe Alwyn T Swifts love is reading this book I had to get it. Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are living normal lives trying to answer life’s big question of “what is true happiness”. They seek out in different ways things to fill the voids in their lives. Sex, drugs, career, seem empty without someone to share it with. Does being lonely lower your standards for a mate. What if the mate isn’t what your looking for in a life partner but the sex is made of fantasies. This book tackles all of these issues in the 4 main characters who will remind you of friends you currently hang out with. I loved it! "
