Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
4.0
I don’t know what it is about Rooney's writing but I find myself completely mesmerised in every story she publishes. She writes about her characters in such a familiar way that I feel like they could be anyone I have ever crossed paths with. Their stories are situations that could really happen to anyone yet her writing makes them special in every way.
I really enjoyed this book. I don’t even know why because I got mad at the characters all the time but I experienced the same feeling with Normal People too. Emotions are narrated in a way so raw and honest that it makes it very easy to relate to the characters. I liked how France’s anxiety was described as it gave more authenticity to the character.
Rooney made me think about how hard relationships are and how important communication is once again after reading Normal People and I’m so keen for new stories.
