Description

A sharply intelligent novel about friendship, lust, jealousy, and the unexpected complications of adulthood in the 21st century

Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa's world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick's flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances' friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi.

Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances' intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment.

Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth and the messy edges of female friendship.

I don't enjoy characters who major in English

I heard about this author on the podcast The Cut. Sally Rooney was being celebrated as a young literary genius.
I agree she is talented in writing. There is so much sexual tension in everything in the book, as she had intended.
I was disappointed in the story, unfortunately. In the podcast, I was lead to expect more 'conversations with friends' about psychology, politics, sociology, etc. The book mostly focuses on the main character's struggle with her body and endometriosis (which pales in comparison to other themes), her sexual relationships, and her snobbish sense of entitlement. The book was hard to finish because I was mislead and disappointed.
She's a 'poet', but there is no poetry.
We never hear about her father - whose story, at some points, was more interesting - after the suicidal phone call and her mother confirming he's alive.
Rooney does have a knack of writing and describing the character's feelings. I was just expecting more controversial themes.

Great writing, enjoyed reading it

Loved the writing from Rooney, she is gifted, makes the read so easy, it is very descriptive however the topic made me very uncomfortable, the story felt quite dark to me but even though I don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics or how the characters live their lives, the writing was exceptional. This is a provoking story and read.

Loved it

Absolutely gorgeous book - I loved the subtle nuances and the narrative. Thought the last line was the best and made me feel really happy. Loved the narration- it couldn’t have been more perfect !

Disappointed

Tried and tried. It dragged on. The character development was exhausting and was not interesting. I was hopeful but this wasn’t for me

Incredible Debut Novel

I should have read her books in the order she wrote them, I feel I would have enjoyed this more if I had read it first. The dialogue is so real, so observed, and the ending so unexpected.

Really enjoyed this novel.

Narration was superb

Brilliant author, loved this book!

This book is brilliant! I found all the characters intriguing and enjoyed the conversations they had with each other. Can listen to this book over and over again! Everything about this book is amazing, how the author writes about depression, endometriosis & family dynamics. I really felt for these characters as they travel through life trying to be true to themselves. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Okay nothing as good as normal people

Interesting read, feels like a story with great characters but not much going on. Great performance by voice actor.

repetitive story line

Found the book dry in certain areas and repetitive. Parts of the book would start to get good then it seemed to change topics.
