The novel has two main characters that we follow, Marianne and Connell. Marianne is probably 18 years old and attends last year of secondary school. She comes from a rich family, she lives in what is called a "mansion" and her mother is solisitor. She likes to challenge the people around her with harsh comments, and is for that reason not a popular student. She stays mostly at home, and is not used to socialize with friends in town or at school. Connell is her first boyfriend, and in that relationship she is both confinent and uncertain.
A contrast to Marianne is Connell. He attends the same school as Marianne, and is the popular, well-liked character. He is good looking, plays football and has dark hair. Marianne describes him as someone everybody likes. His personality is quiet and gentle. Contrary to Marianne, he comes from a poorer family with a single mother who works as a cleaner. These two young adults become a couple, and their relationship is deep and strong, and both feel relaxed in each others company. However, Connell wants his relationship to Marianne to be a secret.
