anniebobannie shared a tip "Sally Rooney knows how to beautifully construct the complicated inner workings of the human mind through love, pain and vulnerability. Beautiful World Where Are You was full of relatable experiences and emotions which I always love so for that, a job well done. Unfortunately there were no real story climaxes (many of the other kind, iykyk) which lead to a rather boring series of chapters. It's weird. I wouldn't not recommend it"

macy_mathews11 shared a tip "4/5– I initially didn’t care much for this one. I’ve just finished Normal People and felt like this was a bit of a letdown as a follow up. Although I still feel it doesn’t compare to np, by the end I loved it and the ending was much more pleasing. A bit of it felt too much like it was trying too hard but in the end it was endearing."

ella_leitman_dixon shared a tip "Highly anticipated and gloriously received! BWWAY lived up to the merch-driven hype and convinced me to buy an $80 tote bag, if that’s any indication of the book’s quality. I have two copies I lend out on rotation like a Rooney evangelist and, unlike many others I lend, these return to my shelves quickly and with high praise for four quirky millennials gracing the pages. Personally, I think of myself an Eileen but others likely view me as an Alice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

kendyl_stark shared a tip "This book was so beautiful. Not in a traditional, happy ending type way but in a way that it was so undeniably real. All of the characters (in all of Rooney’s books) are so honestly written. Would read 1000 times over. #honest #sallyrooney"

bee_aragon shared a tip "One of the central themes in the book is the subjects' individual emotional journeys towards accepting love and the vulnerability therein. I found it touching and relatable."
