It's like an Ask Polly letter in the form of a novel, in the best possible way." - The Cut "Rooney expertly captures what it's like to be young today: the conversations flow seamlessly from email to text message to unspoken glance, the sexual and creative confidence, the admiration for older men who write emails written in all lowercase. "Rooney's exploration of growing out of naïveté is true to life, sometimes painfully so, and anyone who has thrived on created drama, who has imagined higher stakes than exist, will see a bit of themselves." - BuzzFeed "An insightful look at what it's like to be young, smart, and deeply confused about friendship and love. But it ends up emphasizing the truths exploding in the silences." - Slate Conversations with Friends sparkles with controlled rhetoric. "The self-deceptions of a new generation are at the core of Sally Rooney's debut, Conversations with Friends, which captures something wonderfully odd-cornered and real in the story of an Irish millennial." -Megan O'Grady, Vogue "A bracing, miraculous debut." - The Millions "Sally Rooney's debut novel is a remarkably charming exploration of that very uncharming subject: the human ego. "Smart and perceptive." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune
