Her best friend is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, they meet a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into her world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and handsome husband, Nick. But however amusing Frances and Nick's flirtation seems at first, it begins to give way to a strange--and then painful--intimacy.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, u003ciu003eConversations with Friendsu003c/iu003e is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbu003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARDu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e "Sharp, funny, thought-provoking . . . a really great portrait of two young women as they're figuring out how to be adults."u003cbu003e--Celeste Ng, "Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast"u003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e "The dialogue is superb, as are the insights about communicating in the age of electronic devices. Rooney has a magical ability to write scenes of such verisimilitude that even when little happens they're suspenseful."u003cbu003e--Curtis Sittenfeld, u003ciu003eThe Weeku003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e "Rooney has the gift of imbuing everyday life with a sense of high stakes . . . a novel of delicious frictions."u003cbu003e--u003ciu003eNew Yorku003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e "A writer of rare confidence, with a lucid, exacting style . . . One wonderful aspect of Rooney's consistently wonderful novel is the fierce clarity with which she examines the self-delusion that so often festers alongside presumed self-knowledge. . . . But Rooney's natural power is as a psychological portraitist. She is acute and sophisticated about the workings of innocence; the protagonist of this novel about growing up has no idea just how much of it she has left to do."u003cbu003e--Alexandra Schwartz,u003c/bu003e u003cbu003eu003ciu003eThe New Yorkeru003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e "This book.
