Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU by SALLY ROONEY 

When I joined Bookstagram everyone was obsessed with this Rooney woman and I was sceptical. I read Conversations with Friends because I was getting tired of the FOMO. Instantly after finishing, I couldn’t stop smiling. I went out and bought Normal People the next day and fell deeper in love with this writer. Now I’ve read the most highly anticipated book of the year and I can safely say that Sally Rooney is my favourite author. I don’t care if that makes me a basic bitch! My whole identity is that I’m a millennial and the Roonster just gets that. She sees us and she gives words to our unspeakable fears, not just about the impending doom we face in this political climate and the actual climate, but also in our relationships and the way we feel about ourselves. 

I won’t outline the plot here because there’s enough of that going on, but I do what to memorialise my feelings of this book so that I can reflect on this later. What Rooney has done is something very few writers can do and that it to write about the everyday and the mundane with a freshness and an honesty that leave me breathless and gasping for more. She’s a phenomenal writer of romance and tension and politics. I predict we’ll be getting a collection of essays from her in the near future. 

I loved this book and I’m so happy right now.
