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.
