Where do I even start? It was a blissful, rainy Sunday when I received an ARC of this book on my e-reader. I was thoroughly underwhelmed and maybe disappointed by Normal People last year, so my expectations were quite low on this one. The title attracted me and something about the mysterious aura around the author makes me want to pick her stuff up or follow up the tags, pages about her.
Beautiful World, Where are you is simply Beautiful in its messiness. It is beautiful in its severely stripped down characters proudly displaying their insecurities, fears, feelings and spite on display. Sally Rooney's characters feel spiteful at the world and its making and everything that we live for. They search for the why's and ponders around the airy, brushed upon topics.
This book is a monochromatic celebration of the silent, blurred and often glanced over moments of life. The everyday nitty-gritty of religion and belief, of need turning to satiable, irreversible hunger, of privilege and mental illness at its worst. Its about people who remain even when they aren't available always.
Its been a while since I finished this books, the words and characters have started to blur in my mind, although the disoriented satisfaction of reading this book has imprinted itself on my heart.
