Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney

Sally Rooney has a knack for imbuing her writing with the anxieties of her generation. Her third novel grapples with the absurd but increasingly pressing task of how to balance personal dramas within the context of larger global crises. If this sounds too heavy, it’s not! You’ll root for Rooney’s characters, want to spend time with them, and their faults are understandable and relatable. This novel is full of heart and conflict and intimacy, in all the best ways.
