Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

4.0

4.5!! this is just *life* and i read this at the most perfect time to really make me feel ~awful~ but in a good way. i basically wrote off sally rooney as “not for me” after i read normal people. i didn’t like it. or more than that, i guess i didn’t GET it. conversations with friends i think hit the mark (for me) that she missed in normal people. it’s not all that enjoyable of a story if i’m being honest, but sometimes there are stories that need to be told that aren’t funny or heartwarming OR sad or terrible— they’re just melancholy and still. and this was that story to me, and i think it was worth being told anyway.
