Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
4.25

Anything Sally Rooney writes makes me feel deeply. This story was superb. In the end, I couldn’t believe I was rooting for an extramarital affair to succeed. This is how Sally Rooney writes. Up close and personal. The nuance and complexities of human relationships are centerfold to this story. Not everything is what it seems. 

Truthfully, I found the protagonist and the people she surrounded herself with (aka Bobbi, Melissa, and Nick) to be quite insufferable at times. But, I still found myself rooting for them all to be okay.
