I can say that this book begins with a launch, a tossing into the pool, an unceremonious jumping in that's more like a continuation, an assumption you've been there all along. Writing so clear and lovely, writing that summons new images and thoughts and emotions you've never considered and acts as a kind acknowledgment of the scariest and deepest and truest ones you quietly have. I can tell you that, so long as I live, I expect never to encounter writing like this again. There's a reason I've put off writing this review for two and a half months. It's a book called Conversations with Friends, it's also written by Sally Rooney, and it seems to have been dethroned by this one. nearly my favorite book of all time, second only to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland my literal and figurative self, distilled into pages Rooney has published one excerpt, one essay, three novels, and four short stories, and I have read her work 22 times, in total.Īlso notably, there is a book I have called the following: Could very well be my favorite book by who is likely my favorite author, in other words. And not just any Sally Rooney book, but possibly my FAVORITE Sally Rooney book. You and I - you, of course, being my minimal talents - need to get it together. This isn't just any five star book, although that would be a fairly once in a blue moon event as well. I will continue to make my own lack of skill the audience for this review, just for a moment, because this is a special occasion. My limited and rarely tested abilities to write a five star review, ever decaying and decreasing from lack of use.
