I actually never finished it. Read about 2/3rds of it and never went back to it. In retrospect I may not have been its target demographic.

Would it be a mix of chick lit and Jackie Collins ?
It’s horrendous shite.
At least he looked like he knew what he was doing in the football scenes in Episode 1 but Pure Mule would wipe the floor with it.
Sarah Greene is a fabulous looking woman . She Connell’s mother
Jaws on ITV4 now
I know the mother was always meant to be young, but you can’t take her seriously in that role, Greene must be only ten years older than Mescall, if even. Dublin Murders turned into a hopeless pile of shite but there is a certain níl fhios agam about her alright.

Ya if they had Marianne’s college friend tubbsy in the lead role instead it might have made more sense and been more faithful to the book. All the calls to Joe Duffy might have been of a different nature as well.

Thinly veiled “nice to talk to”

Yer man Connell saying he needed to “head away” was another head scratcher moment. I’d say at that age I only ever left a pub when it was closing or I needed some “fresh air”.
There are two types on this site - those who have a watch and liars
My missus has watched it in work, I’d probably give it a lash otherwise, just to see what all the fuss is about.
I tried to read Sally Rooney’s other book and gave up on it
