A review by emmalong
Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

3.0

OKAY SALLY. i read normal people back in 2022 and did not like it at all. the miscommunication trope just did not do it for me in that story. this one has it a little bit as well, but it worked a lot better. and i cannot lie that sally rooney's writing is incredibly impressive, especially reading it physically. she really has a way with story and i deeply respect that. did i love that the whole book was about an affair? no, not at all. but the other underlying parts of the story were really well done. chapter 6 chopped pieces off of my heart and resonated with me in ways i was not truly prepared for. i will definitely be reading BWWAY sometime soon.
