Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney

Conversations with Friends

Frances is twenty-one years old; cool-headed and observant. A student in Dublin and an aspiring writer; at night she performs spoken word with her best friend Bobbi; who used to be her girlfriend. When they are interviewed and then befriended by Melissa; a well-known journalist who is married to Nick; an actor; they enter a world of beautiful houses; raucous dinner parties and holidays in Provence; beginning a complex meacute;nage-A-quatre. But when Frances and Nick get unexpectedly closer; the sharply witty and emotion-averse Frances is forced to honestly confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.
