a really great portrait of two young women as they’re figuring out how to be adults.” -Celeste Ng, “Late Night with Seth Meyers Podcast” Written with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humour, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship.
