A review by grasshopperjungle
Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

4.5

Seriously adore Sally Rooneys works. It was just so honest and real and raw (cliche I know but I loved it) and there were so many points in this novel where I couldn’t even believe it was written by someone and not just magically copied from the mind of the main character, Frances. Its just so digestible yet leaves you with way too much to think about when you’re done within 1-3 readings. Highly recommend.

Only thing I do have to mention negatively about this book, and Sally Rooney’s other works, is the negative portrayal and connotations behind kink and BDSM. I get it, it’s social/sexual commentary and I do think it’s valid, but that doesn’t make it any less harmful, shameful and sex negative.
