Review of 'Beautiful World, Where Are You' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

I don't know what to say about this book that will do it justice. I love Sally Rooney's writing and how dry it is. To some, it might be boring or hard to understand, but to me, it is like shortbread cookies. Dry, but it has a charm that makes you feel at home. Like shortbread cookies, I couldn't stop devouring this novel. I don't know if I found the characters loveable, but I loved them nevertheless. I can't explain how this book made me feel, just that I loved every second.
