    About this audiobook

    From celebrated author Sally Rooney, "the literary phenomenon of the decade" (The Guardian): a universal story of love, friendship, and growing up.

    At school, Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud, and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers — one they are determined to conceal.

    A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

    Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.

    Editor's Note

    Cuts you open…

    Sally Rooney has a way of writing so concisely and so sharply about love and social status and neuroses that you feel, at times, as though she’s cut you open, and you’re staring at your own innards on the page. Two preternaturally intelligent Irish teenagers are brought together by an almost magnetic fascination with one another, only to be driven apart by everything from high school hierarchies to emotional and physical trauma.

      Quite interesting, enjoyed the fact that it was set in Ireland
    • 5/5
      Absolutely absorbing. Tense and frustrating at times, I grew so attached to the characters I didn’t want it to end. Beautifully written-highly atmospheric and intelligent.

      So angry this has such a cult following. I can’t even be sure people are talking about the same book. Must be a secret edition I didn’t get
