Publisher Description

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Beautiful World, Where Are You
is a new novel by Sally Rooney, the bestselling author of Normal People and Conversations with Friends.


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 get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Omfg Felix GO AWAY 😭🙏”
“I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I had tried picking this up when it first came out but couldn’t get into it then. I think Sally Rooney having them write the emails back and forth to one another was creative- it showed how human they were. How they pondered the questions we all do. Sally Rooney writes beautifully flawed characters. It felt like I dove into a little friend group and then left so it wasn’t my favorite because of that but I loved their relationships and how they discussed life together and how they worked through some things.”
