Talking at Night by Claire Daverley
5.0
dark emotional sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The comparisons to Sally Rooney’s Normal People are inevitable: damaged  main characters, the will they or won’t they, the absence of quotation marks…

Talking at Night is gorgeous and captures moments, even in the mundane, in surprising ways. And, though there was perhaps one trauma too many, Will and Rosie will forever live in my brain as real people.
