Furthermore, I liked the setting of the book and Rooney’s description of the places and the surroundings. I liked it as it left me in a nostalgic mood, thinking about the story even after I finished it. Either way, I wouldn’t have been surprised and would have understood it.Įspecially the end of the book got me. If the two love stories would work out or not. I wanted to stay in their bubble and know what would happen next to them.

While I resisted the characters, I was also intrigued by them. However, there were parts where I started to understand them, related to what they were feeling and going through.Īs you might have noticed by now, I find it very hard to express exactly what I was feeling while reading the book. Talking about the characters of Beautiful World, Where Are You, Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon, I found them very unappealing, sometimes even obnoxious, and it was often hard to follow their thoughts and feelings. Even though I was not fully loving the characters and always had the feeling I was missing out on something, her writing got under my skin, and I wanted to know what happens next and stay in the bubble of this kind of weird perspective of the world Rooney created for her characters. Rooney’s writing style is unique and bold, and her stories feel very real and human. I didn’t like all parts, but after finishing the book, I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters and the storyline for a few days.Īnd the same happened after I finished Rooney’s new book Beautiful World, Where Are You. I only read Normal People by Sally Rooney and honestly had a love/hate relationship with the story.
