So glad to hear that Rooney is getting better!
Masterpiece? That’s high praise…
So glad you secured this ARC. You deserve it.
Never picked up a Rooney, and doubt I will, but the sheer joy of reading one's most anticipated release is something I can enjoy no matter who the author is! I'm so glad you got to read this early, Jaylen!
i loooved normal people, though i wasnt planning on reading this one right when it comes out but now... i think you've sold me... might have to finally pick up conversations with friends in the meantime to tide me over
live your best life king 👑
🍻
Ok we're stopping everything for this!
but also I'd be down for a reaction per page... hype king... get on that Rooney payroll. I'm so excited wow.
Hahaha thank you!!! I think you’re gonna love this one too 😎
I'm so excited that you got to read this so early! (And super jealous!) Meta and self-aware stuff is my favorite! I love when the author totally gets how they are seen and they can play with those expectations. Preordering now! While I wait I will have to finally read Normal and Conversations in preparation. I love that you teared up at the end! You seemed genuinely moved! Thanks for letting us watch the joy you experienced reading this book. Your enthusiasm is infectious and this made me smile and laugh so much! I totally would've watched you react to every page! ;) lol What Netflix show was it that you saw the orange wine in?! I think I watched it too because that rang a bell but I can't remember what the show was and now it's gonna bug me! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome reading experience with us! Such a genuine and insightful review! You are so well-spoken and entertaining to watch! Great job, as always!
I have never been so envious of an ARC in my entire life!!
I’m only 50% into this book but I can already feel my heart in my throat!

Sally Rooney’s Hate Is the New Normal
It is not easy to convince the Snapchat generation to read books. To do so, you must be a gifted writer and know which buttons to press in young people’s hearts. Sally Rooney, a young Irish author, is that kind of writer. Her first two books have won multiple awards and she is widely regarded as one of the most prominent voices of millennials.
Rooney is also very opinionated. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and an avid supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS). In line with her views, she has refused to sell translation rights to Israeli publishers. Because of her notoriety, her decision caused quite a stir. The New York Times stated, “Sally Rooney Declines to Sell Translation Rights to Israeli Publisher.” CNN echoed, “Sally Rooney refuses to sell Hebrew rights for latest book to Israeli publisher, citing political objections,” and other prominent news outlets also reported her decision.
In response, Israel's two largest bookstore chains announced that they would pull all of Rooney's titles from their shelves. This also caused a stir, though not as much. The BBC reported it, as did The Guardian and other British news outlets. Naturally, the Jewish press was all over the case, as well.
I sympathize with the response of the bookstore chains, just as I was in favor of banning other individuals and brands that boycott Israel. At the same time, I understand why they are doing this, and I am glad that it is causing a stir in Israel.
We can look the other way for only so long. At some point, we will have to ask ourselves why the world hates us, and it is better if we do it now than later.
We need to use such incidents constructively. By "constructively," I mean that we should use them as an impetus to return to the roots of our nation, to our fundamental principles of mutual responsibility and brotherly love. These are the building blocks of our nation, and these are the qualities that we lost long ago and for which we were exiled from Israel.
When we were cast as a nation that was to be “a light unto nations,” we were made to reflect the splendor of love of others to the entire world. Long before we gave the world Albert Einstein and Arthur Rubenstein, we gave it “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Granted, we did not quite manage to make it a reality, but the idea itself was, and still is, so novel, so unlike human nature, that to this day it seems undoable.
Still, the world will not leave us in peace until we begin to implement this very legacy we had left to humanity. Indeed, it makes perfect sense to demand that the progenitors of this sublime idea be the first to implement it.
The more the world becomes divided and hostile, the more it needs its opposite - love of others. The more people hate each other, the more they will demand that we love each other, and they will hate us for not doing so and setting an example for the world to follow.
In the near future, numerous celebrities, pundits, and politicians will declare their disapproval of Israel. They will not justify our existence as a sovereign state unless we justify it by setting an example of unity. Nothing else will satisfy them; nothing else will appease their hatred.
