pick"Everyone's always going through something, aren't they? That's life, basically. It's just more and more things to go through."
I went into this knowing it would be good, but with the assumption that it couldn't possibly be as good as Normal People. Yeah, well, I was wrong. Rooney tapped right into my heart again. ??
readordierachel ... I feel like I know these people. I saw a bit of myself in Frances, in her insecurities and misguided self-protection. And Bobbi reminded me so much of a dear friend of mine it was uncanny at times. I loved this and I am very sad that I am out of Sally Rooney books to read. 4y
vivastory Okay, I just googled Rooney's age...holy shit, wunderkind much?!! 4y
readordierachel @vivastory Right?? Between her and Oyeyemi (first book at 19!!!) I'm questioning all my life choices. Both geniuses. 4y

saresmoore Questioning my life choices is exactly my reaction, too. Clearly I‘ve failed at life already. 😅 4y
vivastory @readordierachel @saresmoore I like to think of myself as more of a Penelope Fitzgerald 😂 4y
readordierachel @saresmoore @vivastory #latebloomers 😂 4y
merelybookish Oh, I want to read this! And glad to hear it's as good as NP. But I don't want to be out of Sally Rooney books! It's a struggle. (And add Zadie Smith to your list of annoying #earlybloomers. 🙂) 4y
merelybookish @vivastory Exactly Penelope Fitzgerald - the house boat 😆 4y
batsy @merelybookish I don't want to run out of Sally Rooney books, too! 4y
batsy Tell me all the stories about the #latebloomers and let us never speak of #earlybloomers again 😂 Lovely review, Rachel! 4y
readordierachel @merelybookish Yes, can't forget Zadie! 😆 That reminds me I must check where I'm at in the hold list for her latest. 4y
readordierachel @batsy Never again 😂😂 4y
Centique @vivastory I love this “think of myself as a Penelope Fitzgerald” 🙌🙌 You cracked me up! Plus I just started reading a Penelope Fitzgerald today. @batsy @saresmoore @readordierachel We‘re not late bloomers, we‘re graceful, thoughtful #Penelopes 4y
readordierachel @Centique I like the way you think. #Penelopes 😁💕 4y
