Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
2.0
Nope.
I didn’t like this book at all. It’s written mainly as emails between two long term friends, Alice and Eileen. Alice is a famous but depressed writer and Eileen is a scatter brained editor for a literary magazine who is unsure if she is in love with her best friend Simon. The emails ramble on in some type of pseudo-intellectual babble that is supposed to be thought-provoking, I suppose. I found both women arrogant and annoying, criticizing religion, people older than 30, and each other. The writing was pedestrian and overinflated with no real storyline. Just a terrible book.
