    My favourite Rooney book from the three published so far
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2022*

I gave ‘Normal People’ and ‘Beautiful World, Where Are You’ a solid 4 stars for each so my expectations were pretty high when I finally got round to reading Rooney’s first book ‘Conversations with Friends’.This book is the story of four people and the shifting relationships between them. Frances and Bobbi are students in Dublin, they are ex-lovers and remain close friends. Frances is introverted and a talented writer, while Bobbi is an extrovert and the more gifted performer. Melissa is a photographer who wants to profile the two young women and she invites them to a party at her home, where they meet her Actor husband, Nick. Bobbi fancies Melissa and Frances is drawn to Nick. Through the novel, each goes through ups and downs and the relationships between them are equally volatile. We also learn about their troubled pasts and present and that Frances is the product of an alcoholic father, an enabler mother and she feels like a damaged person who deserves nothing.With respect to Frances, she is outwardly cold, snarky and aloof but she is also insecure, damaged and sensitive. She might be difficult but she isn't unlovable and I found this of all of the characters. I didn’t necessarily like them all but I understood them and I think that they were well written. I felt that the flow of the book was good and, as with the other Rooney stories, this isn’t a plot heavy book, but that isn't the point. This is a book about relationships and those relationships are excellently written. The portrayal of friendship between Frances and Bobbi feels completely genuine and realistic and the sparks that fly between Nick and Frances generated by something between love and hate was interesting. The writing style is flat but functional and I felt that the voice of this disengaged, alienated young woman came across as completely authentic.This felt so typically Rooney to me. I was welcomed into the story and I felt like I was reuniting with old friends. I've seen a number of critical reviews and while I can appreciate some of the comments, I still think this book is terrific and I think it is my favourite Rooney book so far. I am excited to continue reading her work.

    Enjoyable Book, Strong Debut.
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2024*

For someone who watched the BBC series and enjoyed it, I liked this book slightly more than I liked the series.I will say that the first part of the book I did find to be a bit slow and therefore made it a bit boring at times. The second part, however, was much better and became much more interesting. I also became more invested in the characters.Frances' character is the only one I feel like is actually relatable. That quiet, cold and aloof person who's different from other people. The different things she goes through, the problems she has to deal with. The distant and struggling relationship she has with her parents, her feelings for Bobbi and her relationship with Nick, and how she starts to feel about him. The other characters were likeable (more or less). They all had their own conflicts they were dealing with, which made them relatable and made you care for them (to an extent).The friendship/relationship between Frances and Bobbi was sincere and true. The way they are around each other, the things they do. The things they share with each other. As well as the underlying fact that they obviously still deeply care for each other.The relationship between Frances and Nick, however, was very complex. There were moments where the two of them really cared for each other, and then there were moments where it felt like they miscommunicated with each other, causing things to get even more complicated.The way Sally Rooney did the writing in this was slightly different from Normal People. And it surprised me a bit.In the end, I did enjoy Conversations with Friends. I would say I enjoyed it slightly more than the BBC series adaptation. I would also agree with this book being a strong debut for Sally Rooney.

    Uninteresting and inconsistent characters
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2024*

I bought this book because of the rave reviews even though the synopsis didn’t suggest a tale I would normally enjoy. I was disappointed for several reasons. The first few pages seemed to have been written principally to introduce a couple of characters and to set the scene,. The style suggested that the author would return to the pages to add some literary touches, rather than leave it in a rather chunky format. Nevertheless the first half of the book was enjoyable, introducing the main characters and developing the plot. The second half reversed that. The plot, such as it was, was simple, the characters pretentious and, in the protagonist’s case, self obsessed. There were sub plots that went nowhere, the dialogue became somewhat tortured - not helped by its formatting - and eventually the book simply peters out.
