About this ebook
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Beautiful World, Where Are You is a new novel by Sally Rooney, the bestselling author of Normal People and Conversations with Friends.
Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he’d like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend, Eileen, is getting over a break-up, and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.
Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon are still young—but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

Honestly, when I first started I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this one as much as Normal People, but by the end I was left pleasantly surprised. This may be Sally Rooney's best book to date in my opinion. Her writing style has really improved over the years, and her characters are so fleshed out now. Absolutely loved it, will need to pick up a physical copy someday soon...
