Conversations with Friends

Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney is very good. It's about two young, college aged friends in Dublin. The narrator, Frances, is emotionally closed off in some ways but very observant and in some ways very self aware. It is about her relationship with a married man, and shifts in her friendship with Bobbi. Rooney does a great job describing different social dynamics and tensions in a way that made me uncomfortable but in a good way. I was surprisingly engrossed and read then novel quickly. I did have trouble with the very end and wish I could talk to someone about what they thought.
