The Intermezzo book cover definitely has some intrigue and mystery, but the color palette and classical elements like chess pieces prevent that mystery from feeling sad or scary. Sally Rooney is known for her bright covers and this one will look great beside the rest of her books!

Intermezzo follows successful lawyer Peter and competitive chess player Ivan, two brothers who couldn't be more different, but when their father dies, they're brought closer in a whole new way. As Peter struggles to balance multiple romances and Ivan becomes involved with an older woman, the brothers have to "find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking," according to the synopsis.

Sally Rooney's books resonate with readers because of how realistic they are, and how raw her characters' relationships are. She doesn't shy away from the complexities of being human, but even though her stories can be heartbreaking, she writes in such a beautiful way that I don't even mind!

According to Merriam-Webster, an intermezzo is a "movement coming between the major sections of an extended musical work" or a "usually brief interlude or diversion." I'm definitely thinking the book will emphasize how Peter and Ivan's struggles are brief, and how family bonds (and FOUND family bonds) are stronger than any heartache we go through.
