I'll read anything by Anne Enright. Not as good as Actress, IMO, but she writes fractured and flawed relationships like no other.

I read this as it was on the women's prize shortlist. Didn't really understand the hype - but then realised that Sally Rooney had given it a quote. This makes sense. It feels very much in the same style, which just isn't for me.
