Seller Description
Read once. Clearing my shelves. No dog ears. Beautiful World, Where Are You is a new novel by Sally Rooney, the best-selling 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 breakup, 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?

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are divided on this book, with opinions ranging from high praise to disappointment. Some readers find Rooney's writing consistently excellent, while others feel this book is her weakest and overly stylized, likening it to a screenplay rather than a novel. There is appreciation for the exquisite writing and literary style, but criticisms focus on insufferable characters and the unconventional format, such as the email sections and lack of quotation marks. Overall, it appears to appeal more to those who enjoy character-driven, literary narratives despite its flaws.
