Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

2.0

Had high hopes but, unfortunately, this could've been better. It felt very art house and pretentious. I kinda despised everyone (except the dog). I thought there would be more focus on the friendship between Bobbi and Frances. Half the time I forgot they were suppose to be best friends. I feel like they either spent the majority of the time angry or weird with each other, and the other times just floating around each others' lives but never having chemistry or deep conversations with each other that made their friendship believable or something to root for. I also hated that Nick and Melissa didn't seek a divorce after they both had affairs, because they "loved" each other too much (but...still continued to have extramarital affairs...okay). That's not love to me and I really can't be convinced otherwise!
