A review by carolinecronj
Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

4.0

This book is INCREDIBLY well written. The protagonist narrates the story with a refreshing and at times brutal honesty and I felt that the scenes and dialogues simply felt realistic and less touched-up like they usually are in fiction.

I could not relate to all characters, so sometimes I found their actions and decisions puzzling. However, I still experienced this as a great portrait of love, attraction, friendship and communication. Though Sally Rooney mostly uses simple words and short sentences, she really manages to create a detailed and complex emotional landscape, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
