Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I had so many conflicting feelings about this book. It took me a long time to get into it and to warm up to the characters. I loved that they were all flawed and real but that also meant that they got on my nerves and I can’t say that I ended up liking them even by the end of the book. But they grew on me. And they were real so I found myself invested in their story.
I also usually hate books where the characters have intellectual conversations where it’s clear that the author is using them as a ploy to lecture the reader. It drives me mad and there was much of it in this book. So much of it.
In the end though, when I finished it, it felt like a good meal and I appreciated that I read it. And I did think about it long after.
