Summary

My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all。

Years ago， Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult， and she had nowhere else to go。 Now they are on the brink of the inevitable。

Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years。 With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech， she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death。

In this moment I can't explain how attached I am to Sally Rooney。 Every character she writes is deeply connected with my soul。 This one reminded me of My Dark Vanessa。 Also， Lana Del Rey could write a song about it。 I've always loved the idea of impossible relationships/star crossed lovers/two people that weren't meant to be and the tragedy behind it。 Age gap can make a really good story if it's well written。 In my opinion， Sally Rooney did that with this short book。 In this moment I can't explain how attached I am to Sally Rooney。 Every character she writes is deeply connected with my soul。 This one reminded me of My Dark Vanessa。 Also， Lana Del Rey could write a song about it。 I've always loved the idea of impossible relationships/star crossed lovers/two people that weren't meant to be and the tragedy behind it。 Age gap can make a really good story if it's well written。 In my opinion， Sally Rooney did that with this short book。 。。。more

Genuinely wish this was a full novel and not a short story but still really enjoyed it！！

Nahla ，

4，5 Sally Rooney in 33 pages did more than most 300 pages novels。 Her writing style is impeccable and exquisite。 I wish this was a full novel because I loved the two characters straight away。 I thought her approach to death was rather interesting。

Tarneem Maitham ，

I genuinely enjoy Sally Rooney’s writing so much。 I wish there were more books to read of hers。

Marta Politi ，

I very much enjoy Sally Rooney's style of writing， it's fresh and direct。 In Mr Salary Rooney's depiction of love is once again presented， a love that is intense yet hidden by those who feel it trough words unspoken and what seems to be voluntary miscommunication。 The feeling of uncertainty of being young and not knowing what to make of your life is described in a sincere way。 Having read most of the author's work， I often find the power dynamic in the relationship portrayed in the stories at ti I very much enjoy Sally Rooney's style of writing， it's fresh and direct。 In Mr Salary Rooney's depiction of love is once again presented， a love that is intense yet hidden by those who feel it trough words unspoken and what seems to be voluntary miscommunication。 The feeling of uncertainty of being young and not knowing what to make of your life is described in a sincere way。 Having read most of the author's work， I often find the power dynamic in the relationship portrayed in the stories at times disturbing。 The woman is always the one hiding her feelings and the man is the one who invariably decides the fate of the relationship。 Even if the author's female characters are almost always depicted as strong， intelligent and independent， they always comply to normative gender roles when the dealing with love。 。。。more

Cardi ，

too short to really engage with themes or characters， though excellent

Yngrid ，

caramba sally rooney

Natalie ，

Short but good

man0n ，

i need this to be a full length novel。

Noémie ，

Je pourrais littéralement lire tout ce que Sally Rooney écrit， je me retrouve dans les personnages à chaque fois et l'atmosphère qu'elle arrive a créer est juste insane。 Je pourrais littéralement lire tout ce que Sally Rooney écrit， je me retrouve dans les personnages à chaque fois et l'atmosphère qu'elle arrive a créer est juste insane。 。。。more

ella ，

this women is insane。 make the full novel or lock your doors

Rebecca ，

I don’t care if Sally Rooney only really has one book in her - I would read it over and over and over again。 This was an excellent short story。

Shannon Rose ，

yes I now want an entire book on these two characters。。。

Amanda Miller ，

This is an amazing short story。 The author has written the story so beautifully that it makes you yearn for more。

Spencer Fancutt ，

Rooney's style works better at short story level than in novel form for me。 There is a straightforward economy in her prose that is suggestive in short story， but mundane at length。 Enjoyed this seemingly effortlessly sketched short piece a lot。 Rooney's style works better at short story level than in novel form for me。 There is a straightforward economy in her prose that is suggestive in short story， but mundane at length。 Enjoyed this seemingly effortlessly sketched short piece a lot。 。。。more

Josine ，

Way too short

Paris McAuliffe ，

I will read anything Sally Rooney writes and absolutely adore it。 Only complaint was the length 😌

Ceren ，

I will literally read everything this woman writes。The melancholic tone in her mid twenties female characters is just something I can wholeheartedly resonate with。

Sara Morelli ，

That's Sally Rooney for you in 15 pages。 Kind of slapped。 That's Sally Rooney for you in 15 pages。 Kind of slapped。 。。。more

Brianna ，

I mean this was so short it was ridiculous。 I am so desperate to see how this would really end — the incompleteness of this is just mean。

Seren ，

I’ve been listening to much to the contrarians on Twitter and forgotten how much I love sally rooney’s writing

Anood H ，

Ok sally rooney you got me I will read everything you write

Laura Ramos ，

Why is this not a full novel？？？？？？？ I’m offended Anyway， thank you Sally Rooney - 30 pages of this put me out of the reading slump 5 other books created。 That’s nice of you。

Maria ，

Tuve la suerte de conseguir este relato junto con Gente normal al comprarlo durante las navidades y la verdad es que no me arrepiento para nada。 Mr。 Sueldazo es una lectura perfecta para sumergirse en el particular estilo de Sally Rooney， con frases largas y ausencia de signos。 El relato de Rooney muestra la tortuosa relación de una mujer joven con un padre en sus últimas semanas de vida， tras una vida casi ausente en la vida de la pequeña。 Los episodios de la relación paterno-filial se alternan Tuve la suerte de conseguir este relato junto con Gente normal al comprarlo durante las navidades y la verdad es que no me arrepiento para nada。 Mr。 Sueldazo es una lectura perfecta para sumergirse en el particular estilo de Sally Rooney， con frases largas y ausencia de signos。 El relato de Rooney muestra la tortuosa relación de una mujer joven con un padre en sus últimas semanas de vida， tras una vida casi ausente en la vida de la pequeña。 Los episodios de la relación paterno-filial se alternan con aquella de la mujer con quien fuese su compañero de piso y cuidador durante sus años universitarios， buscando con sus palabras un claro reflejo del mito de Elektra。 Una lectura interesante y adictiva que pierde cierto encanto por la predictibilidad y lo abrupto de su conclusión。 。。。more

Casian ，

TOO SHORT。 I want a whole book between these two， this is an incredible dynamic。 Love Sally’s writing as usual。

lereaders ，

Un racconto breve per chi come me é in attesa del prossimo romanzo della Rooney。 Come mi aspettavo non mi ha sconvolto l’esistenza。 Può anche dato dal fatto che non sono una grande lettrice in inglese。 Per il prezzo che ha val bene una lettura！ 😉

saidah ，

。。。 um anyways

hannia。 ，

Sally Rooney always manages to floor me。 Her nuanced， poignant writing style is as strong as always in this short story， and I look forward to revisit it again and again。 The relationship dynamics and emotional impact of "Mr Salary" does not fall short of powerful。 I will read anything this woman writes。 Sally Rooney always manages to floor me。 Her nuanced， poignant writing style is as strong as always in this short story， and I look forward to revisit it again and again。 The relationship dynamics and emotional impact of "Mr Salary" does not fall short of powerful。 I will read anything this woman writes。 。。。more
