Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
4.0
Unsurprisingly, I really enjoyed this book. Sally Rooney is fast becoming one of my favourite writers.
The tone of the ending was a bit strange though, and the introduction of the pandemic very abrupt.
Throughout the book, the emails between Alice and Eileen often felt a little overwrought. The two of them had such a similar outlook on life that at times it felt like someone writing themselves letters back and forth, in the manner that a person might play chess against themselves.
Still, it was well worth a read and most of all I loved stepping back into Sally Rooney's writing. So full of detail yet simple at the same time.
