Beautiful World, Where Are You? is this perfect balance between grounded in reality and super philosophical. I’ve heard people rave about Rooney’s characterisation with her previous works (I’ve read Normal People and have Conversations with Friends sitting on my coffee table waiting to be read) but it is Beautiful Word, Where Are You? that I can see what they’re on about. The characters have so much depth and dimension.
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Mental illness and Suicidal thoughts
