Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he'd like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend Eileen is getting over a break-up and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood.
Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon are still young - but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they worry about sex and friendship and the times they live in. Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

An absolute delight
Loved it. This was my first audiobook and I cannot express how goooood it felt. of course, I was reading the paperback side by side. But it was literally like living every moment.
however, I feel the part where the man voice was there, it could have been better.

Great listening!
I really like how Sally Rooney approches normal things and conversations and make a brilliant book out of it. While I found the book intriguing on many levels, i appreciated the narration by Aoife even better. She has done an excellent job!

a bit hard for the current times
it's a story of 4 people who are not exactly all alike and are as different as chalk and cheese when it comes to outlook on life and their own issues dealings .A good read though overall and the audible performance is great indeed .

Interesting for a one time read
This book is interesting, not nearly as “addictive” as Normal People, but good enough. The characters are well fleshed out. This book wasn’t amazing or anything but sufficiently interesting for a one time listen/ read. The narrator has done a really good job though.

Waiting for the Beautiful World
The debates & their topics are timely, wise, necessary, giving one much to ponder on but the story is very average, the characters (beautifully drawn) are trapped in the mundane. The narrator is brilliant and kept me listening else would have abandoned the book early on.

An uneventful book
I genuinely wonder what Rooney wants to communicate with this book. One might want to ponder on how neoliberal relationships work after they look at this one.

Some books are more about the conversations
I never hated characters as much as felix and Alice. they're both I could never get along with. All characters sounds so much depressed that I got sad too which made me think that Did I enjoy it that much that I was feeling bad for some made up characters. I love it when characters have philosophical conversations every now then because It gives an opportunity to discuss lots of the issues that society is facing and an opportunity to solve it by the power of well articulated literature. Sometimes this is all it takes. I hate that I don't have any friends to have a philosophical debate about life and all kinds of stuff.

Good feeling.
It was a good reading experience for me as I am a sucker for very long excavations on feelings that are often considered normal or random. However, a little more insight into them could've been there - especially since I wanted something more from Felix and Alice. It is like those characters and their encounters didn't result in what I hoped for but in a very Nottinghill situation. Overall The feeling that is left is a good one.

Ordinary story
I didn’t enjoy this. Stretched far too long pointlessly. Absolutely no good takeaways. This wasn’t a good use of my time.
