Publisher's summary

'A nuanced, page-turning portrait.' Zadie Smith

'Brilliant.' Marian Keyes

'A sharp, darkly funny comment on modern relationships.' Sunday Telegraph

The critically-acclaimed debut novel from the globally bestselling author of Normal People and Beautiful World, Where Are You.

Frances is twenty-one years old, cool-headed and observant. At night she performs spoken word with her best friend Bobbi, who used to be her girlfriend. When they are befriended by Melissa, a well-known journalist who is married to Nick, an actor, they enter a world of beautiful houses, raucous dinner parties and holidays in Provence, beginning a complex ménage-à-quatre. But when Frances and Nick get unexpectedly closer, Frances is forced to honestly confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.

Critic reviews

"This book. This book. I read it in one day. I hear I'm not alone." (Sarah Jessica Parker)

"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)

"Sally Rooney writes with a rare, thrilling confidence, in a lucid and exacting style uncluttered with the sort of steroidal imagery and strobe flashes of figurative language that so many dutifully literary novelists employ. This isn't to say that the novel lacks beauty. Its richness blooms quietly." (New Yorker)

Complex and intriguing

So many topics and layers covered in such a nonchalant/light way. I love Sally Rooney and the worlds she creates.
