I've been reading Sally Rooney's Beautiful World, Where Are You lately. I'm about halfway through now, and so far, it's a beautiful showing of the beauty in "ordinary" life. The summary isn't much to write home about: It's about things that happen in normal life: friends and lovers, career hopes and worries, hobbies, purpose, coffee in the morning and wine at night and the weird, dumb, boring thoughts that pop into our minds throughout it all.
