Nichts erschüttert dein Leben so stark wie die Begegnung mit einem Menschen, der dich so sieht, wie du bist.Sally Rooney für die GenZRegan und Aldo könnten unterschiedlicher kaum sein und doch verbindet sie, dass sie sich in diesem Leben seltsam fremd fühlen. Wo ist hier der richtige Platz für sie? Für Regan sind die Menschen vorhersehbar und unspannend, besonders sie selbst. Sie begegnet der Langeweile des Daseins nach dem Studium, indem sie so impulsiv wie möglich lebt und sich vorstellt, dass jede unüberlegte Entscheidung eine neue, alternative Zukunft für sie schafft.Für Aldo fühlt sich die Welt beunruhigend chaotisch an. Er übersteht die Tage, indem er sie in strikte Routinen unterteilt, ein beinahe mathematisches Gerüst aus Regeln und Formeln. Ohne sie würde der gesamte Rahmen seiner Existenz zusammenbrechen.Erst in der Beziehung zueinander finden sie die Sicherheit, nach der sie so lange gesucht haben. Doch die Realität findet immer wieder einen Weg in ihren eigenen, kleinen Kosmos. Und je heftiger die beiden sich ineinander verlieben, desto deutlicher wird, dass die Welt nicht nur aus zwei Menschen bestehen kann.
