Sally Rooney’s writing style is still so satisfying to read; it’s like drinking a tall glass of crisp water. Someone described it as “delicious” and I have to agree. Not sure what it is about it but it’s so nice. 

I realized I’m reading her works in reverse, which is probably not good since her writing gets better with time. A lot more character development happens than in Beautiful World, Where Are You, but because of that the characters seem a lot less mature at first.

The more I think about it the less I think Normal People resonated with me. With Beautiful World, at first I was like oh that was fun and interesting, and then after a while I was like that was actually really good, I enjoyed it. This one kind of fell flat, and nice writing can’t make up for everything. 
I’ve noticed a pattern, a lot of people like Beautiful World but didn’t connect with Normal People or Conversations with Friends (or both). I’d say that’s a mark of improvement in Sally Rooney’s writing, so we’ll see how I feel about Conversations with Friends.
