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

3.0

What if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress toward some unspecified goal—the engineering and production of more and more powerful technologies, the development of more and more complex and abstruse cultural forms? What if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always—just to live and be with other people?

If you're here because of taylor swift, read this. If you enjoy almost plotless but character-driven books, read this. If you like to think and wonder about life, read this book.

I did not think that I would actually like this book. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it either. Maybe I need a better appreciation of life. I might reread in the future. I made the right choice not to annotate, but the quotes were really amazing!

What this book did: I have actually sworn off S.R's books coz they do not really appeal to me. But this book made me realize that maybe her books were really worth trying. Not going to buy physical copies but would definitely read.
