Summary
Two stories about the uncertainties of attraction, from the acclaimed author of Normal People and Conversations with Friends.
'Mr Salary' is Nathan. Sukie moved in with him years ago because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.
My love for him felt so total and so annihilating that it was often impossible for me to see him clearly at all.
In 'Colour and Light', Aidan and Pauline watch a firework display together. They are almost strangers. But their stumbling connection pains Aidan more than any casual flirtation.
He now feels utterly confused as to why they seem to be arguing, confused to the point of abrupt despair.

Chapter 1 good, Chapter 2 difficult to follow
I liked the first storey but I really struggled with the speaker in the second storey, so much so I can’t really remember what the story was afterwards.
Chapter 1, the first storey and the person speaking was good and I enjoyed!

Super short
I didn't realise before buying this that it was just over an hour in total. I felt one of the stories was really close to the plot of Beautiful world where are you. Don't think it was long enough to really rate or get in to.

More please
A brief foray back into the world of Sally Rooney’s writing. I loved the simplicity of each line, her writing is so delicate and cuts straight to the point. Looking forward to her next novel after reading these short stories.

Great stories
I love Conversations With Friends and Beautiful World, Where Are You. When I noticed that this book was available for £2.99, I decided to try it, and am glad I did. Highly recommended.

great stories
I loved both stories but i need to know what happens to aiden and sukie!!!
not like sally’s other stories (normal people and conversations with friends) but does feature realistic problems (cancer and love) through gripping short stories.
completely left me wanting more 😄

Short and sweet
Great writing and narration combined made for a positive experience, very enjoyable. Narrators were wonderful to listen to and conveyed the stories well.
Noticed some parallels with the second story and Beautiful World.
I always enjoy Sally's stories for depth and complex interpersonal relationships, whilst being stylistically uncomplicated and digestible.
