Dialogues without quotation marks, toxic power dynamics, protagonists who make rather questionable life decisions, discussions of class and capitalism - “Beautiful World, Where Are You” is a continuation of what we’ve read from Rooney before, but it offers a different angle: one that truly shows her growth as an author. After reading Francis and Bobbi’s adulterous adventures in “Conversations with Friends” and Connel and Marianne’s heartbreaking love story from high school to college in “Normal People,” I was immediately hooked to Sally Rooney’s writing style. These character-driven, dialogue-heavy books that revolve around young, leftist Dubliner women in ambiguous romantic relationships and unstable friendships are not for everyone. Join me to pick up your next read!īy now we already know that there are two types of people in this world: those who enjoy Sally Rooney books and those who don’t. Welcome to “Lately in Literature with Leyla.” I will be reviewing new book releases to keep you updated on some of the best contemporary fiction.
