sunflowermagpie 's review for:

Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
5.0
emotional funny reflective medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I should have hated this book, but I ended up loving it. All of the characters were sympathetic while still being incredibly flawed, which is so hard to do. Even though not a lot happened plot-wise, I found myself needing to hear more of Frances' observations about the world and people around her. Sally Rooney is phenomenal, and I will definitely be picking up more of her work.
