This is my favourite release from Sally Rooney yet. The way this is written gives so much yet leaves so much for interpretation, and her magic with describing emotional complexities we all feel is just amazing. This book is funny, dark, sexy, reflective and a great commentary on the state of the world.

Sally Rooney back again with a stellar novel - I really loved this book. The characters are complex but lovable and I love the way that Rooney depicts the complex relationships Alice, Felix, Simon, and Eileen have with one another.

It's a complicated one because indeed this feels like what I wanted conversations with friends to be but the relationship that Simon and Eileen have weirds me out. It's what I was after but the dynamic they had going ended up getting in the way of me enjoying the book as much as I could have.

3.0

the worst of sally rooney's books, imo, but they all go the same way: miscommunication, anger, arguments, self-pity, treating each other poorly, shitty parents. rinse and repeat.

normal people was excusable because most of it takes place before anyone's brains have finished developing, but this time it's real, full-grown adults. alice, felix, eileen—i can't stand any of them. simon is the only character i have a shred of patience for.
