A review by janagaton
Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney

3.0

Aside from numerous super relatable lines about everyday life, minor inconveniences, and general mental struggles, I think my favorite part of this book is the cyncism mixed with the dry humor. Although I liked the characters because of their internal and external dialogue with one another, it was hard for me to distinguish who was who because besides their differing occupations, they didn't have many traits or qualities that stood out. It was also difficult to get a grip on their dynamic with each other, and it got confusing at times. I could've also done without all the lengthy emails filled with random facts and discussions revolving religion. It often made me feel like I was reading a textbook. Out of Sally Rooney's works, I do prefer Normal People to this one, but I'm still glad I gave it a shot.
