Sally Rooney is back – but not how you may have expected. Coming off the worldwide success of Normal People, her latest novel is a response to expectation. Self-aware, sometimes bitterly so, Beautiful World, Where Are You follows the relationships, friendships, and sexual entanglements of Alice, a novelist, and her best friend Eileen. This is a novel about the slow burn behind things left unsaid, and the mundane made romantic through faults in communication. It’s also a novel about the fiction at the heart of fiction, the bizarre and unique experience of being a famous writer. If you’re seeking Marianne and Connell, you won’t find them here. What you will find is an entrancing story of female friendship, a critique of the publishing industry, and an earnest examination of contemporary romance.
