Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
4.0
Good god, Frances has to be one of the least likeable main characters I've come across in quite some time. And the ending maddened me.
And yet, Sally Rooney remains Sally Rooney. I adore this woman's writing so much that I happily sat through an eight and a half hour audiobook despite getting more and more annoyed with Frances and how she hurts those around her, and by extension herself, through her needlessly harsh barbed remarks and secret keeping.
Bobbi, on the other hand, I gradually grew to like, even though she is arguably as obnoxious as Frances. I have no idea why this happened.
