Mail on Sunday
This is a novel to set beside Lena Dunham's Girls, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag, Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha . . . I can't wait to see what Rooney serves up next.
Sunday Times
Fearless, sensual writing . . . A dynamic debut novel about the messy, overlapping relationships between four captivating characters
Irish Times
I love this novel . . . A contemporary love story so powerful, graceful and honest it left me reeling . . . It is, by turns, astonishing, heart-rending and perfect; there's not a word out of place.
Luke Kennard, author of 'Transition'
Fascinating, ferocious and shrewd. Sally Rooney has the sharpest eye for all of the most delicate cruelties of human interaction.
Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
So good I felt something akin to grief the moment I finished it . . . Glimmer[s] with humour, compassion, insight and truth . . . Rooney shares with Plath a knack for particularising a feminine consciousness, and this novel is the best I've read on what it means to be young and female right now.
Daily Mail
A book that will appeal to anyone interested in friendship, jealousy, the politics of love (so, everyone?). It is an intelligent and moving novel, a brilliantly accurate portrayal of what it is to be a young woman.
The Pool
I really like her book Conversations with Friends. I like the tone she takes when she's writing. I think it's like being inside someone's mind.
