I'm not sure why PBS has this listed as a psychological thriller, because it is not that. It is a beautifully written but very dark coming of age story about two people who have to find themselves individually before they work together.

The early chapters have the feel of a YA novel, but it is quite explicit at time and more suitable for adults.

Sally Rooney is a writer to watch.
