Alice and Felix live in Mayo, while Simon and Eileen live in Dublin. Alice and Felix meet and start dating as the novel begins, while Eileen and Simon have known and loved each other forever. Alice and Eileen have been best friends since university, and the novel’s narrative sections are interspersed with their emails to each other. Alice is a writer, Eileen is an editorial assistant at a literary magazine, Felix is a warehouse worker, and Simon works in the Irish parliament. Sally Rooney’s new novel is deceptively easy to summarize: it is about four youngish Irish people and the relationships between them.
