Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
3.0

god, i missed that quality of sally rooney's writing- the way how her writing is just so readable, if you know what i mean. i think normal people is still my favourite work of hers, but this one still gets a 3.75 out of 5 from me. i liked the characters very much, and like i have mentioned, the writing style as well. rooney's writing just clicks with my brain in a very pleasing way. i thought the discussions on polyamory was slightly cursory, although i don't know if it's because i am polyamorous myself and so these thoughts are sentiments that i have thought to myself so many times to the point that it has become somewhat obvious.

frances reminded me in many situations of my own thought patterns and i kept getting caught aback when i thought of how if i had ended up in slightly different circumstances i would've turned out to be even more like her. i know that there are many people who didn't like her character, but because of the similarities i observed between her and myself, i couldn't help but sympathise.

overall i would say that i enjoyed this one very much !
