Conversations With Friends

Sally Rooney

This gripping debut from 25-year-old Sally Rooney tells the story of 21-year-old Frances and her increasingly complicated friendships.

Frances is an aspiring writer, poet and English student, living – but defiantly not working – in Dublin, with her friend (and sometimes girlfriend) Bobbi.

The author skillfully establishes the importance of female friendship, the all-consuming nature of first love and loves and with the difficulty of navigating your way through your 20s, both politically and emotionally. It is a highly addictive read and Sally Rooney is a name to remember. 9/10
