Intermezzo

“Don't believe the haters. Sally Rooney rocks, and this book is great.”

“I sat down to finish this in a coffee shop and had to leave because I started tearing up. Devastatingly beautiful, honest, precise — it articulates the inarticulable, but somehow never comes across as didactic or overly earnest. I've always been a certified Rooney Head™ and a Conversations With Friends purist, but here, I bend the knee. This is is her best work yet, full stop”

“Grappling with grief of a loved one, with what once was and what could have been. Battling the persona we've given ourselves and what society has given us vs who we really are. Spoiler: Horny”

“sally rooney’s best yet. she’s taking a risk with her prose and her characters. both pay off and work beautifully to bring you up and over the mountain to a new terrain.”
