Mr Salary

a short story to see if Sally Rooney's writing is for you

idk how to rate short stories but i loved reading this so:
rating-4/5

Death was, of course, the most ordinary thing that could happen, at some level I knew that. Still, I had stood there waiting to see the body in the river, ignoring the real living bodies all around me, as if death was more of a miracle than life was.”

I read this because i wanted to know if Sally rooney's writing was for me or not.

lack of quotations.

transpiring between the characters.

longer

short

depth and nuance,

complexity of relationships, human emotions and just mundane life experiences is something she's incredible at.

relieved i loved this

This is a great book to decide if you want to give her work a chance.
