I locate myself within the novel as the guy on the other end of the dating app waiting for Felix to write me back and set up a meet. Love how you point out the impulsiveness of the characters and their experience being filtered through the technology. Thanks for the deep dive and weaving in Woolf. 💙
Thank you for this indept review! I just finished this read and been curious how others interpret those lofty dicussions of world history ~ that somehow didn't seem to matter to the characters in their actual lifes at all -- And now I'm looking forward to reading The Waves ;)
I finshed this few days ago and it's really good. Yet still I can't make my mind if it's her best work yet or not. My favorite is CWF, but BWWAY is a strong contender. Thank you for the great review, you allowed me to see the book in new lights!
just finished the book and i have literally reread all of alice’s and felix’s parts in it like 3 times ! i really want to know ur thoughts on felix as i liked him more than simon, just because simon gives me bad vibes i cannot explain it LMAO. anyhoo, super super love your review ! hope you’re eating well and taking care of yourself ! 💌
Never ever did I think “what are you wearing” was hot until now. And now I feel pressured to make hotter fashion choices, just in case. What would happen if i was caught asked that q while dressed in neutrals and a beanie 😩
Thank you! I even want to reread it already now-I feel like this is Rooney trying to cement herself more in the literary landscape while still having her signature features of romance and communication that she just knows how to do unlike anyone else 🥵
For me conversations with friends made me feel like that tiktok sound that goes “whatchu know about rolling down in the deep end…I have, I have depression”

Thank you! This book is still lingering with me, I feel impulsed to reread it already!
The Virginia Woolf comparison totally makes sense
I personally prefer Felix over Simon. He’s on the side of angel, which weirdly makes me feel Simon sometimes can be annoying😅

This got me more excited to read this!! Such a tender way of looking at a story, such an in-depth conversational review! Loved it!
as always tbh
Thank you!!
I’ve never read Rooney but am going to start with this one!

I started to think “what are you wearing” was hot when Paul Bettany said it in WandaVision and I have not been the same
I was pretty dead set against reading this, but after listening to you, I think it may be interesting to pick up. Excellent review!

u r getting more handsome
For me conversations with friends made me feel like that tiktok sound that goes “whatchu know about rolling down in the deep end…I have, I have depression”
LOL I feel this on a spiritual level
This book sounds incredible!!
