They're always on the cusp of a relationship, but repeatedly pushed apart because of their choices, beliefs and obstacles. But there's always something. Regardless of what his family life had been like growing up, he ruined and wasted years of Anna & Laura’s lives. It was hard to read how selfish and pathetic he was. And at the expense of two selfless, loving, lively women.I was devastated to finish this book. It broke my heart, and if you're a fan of Sally Rooney, Another Life is something you'll want.

Retailers:

Distinct and so movingly told that as a reader you really root for them to thrive' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING It’s been on my bookshelf for a while but I’ve only just got around to reading it. I also have Jodie Chapman’s second novel, Oh Sister, on my TBR pile but I decided to start with her debut. Anna had a boyfriend when I met her. Or she did at first. Apparently he'd taken off for the summer to Australia, but the details were hazy and I never actually asked. A few of the girls talked once in the staff- room about how they’d never actually seen her with him. One said she doubted his existence. Her friend Lisa had shut them down. 'They’re on a break,’ she said and refused to divulge the reason. ‘But he does exist.’ Irish News ‘You could have stopped this’ – Joe Brolly says President Joe Biden should be ‘ashamed’ by position on Israel 15:14 She wasn’t someone who’d care what they thought. I noticed that straight away. I also noticed how she introduced herself to me on my first shift. Even in the unflattering cut of the cinema uniform, she was not someone your eye would pass over. Some of the girls described her looks as crooked, and there was a certain strangeness to her face, a boldness and strength in the way the bones formed behind her alabaster skin. There was nothing petite in how her features knitted together. I’d never seen another face like hers and the subject of her attractiveness would provoke great debate in the staffroom whenever she left it. I never got involved. She looked just fine to me. We were propping open the double doors to a sold-out showing. I forget which film. As the end credits began, we each stood against a door, waiting for the audience to file out between us. ‘Hi, I’m Anna,’ she said, putting a hand out for me to shake. ‘You’re new, aren’t you?’ I think I mumbled as I took her hand. Not many nineteen-year-olds were in the habit of handshakes or introductions, but like I say, she was different. I don’t recall how I got her number, but life is made of small victories you forget.

This book is so different to the normal types I read, and some of these gambles havnt paid off at all for me, but this book is actually really hard to put into words about how good it was.

Select a format:

I don't want to give too much away because everyone just needs to read it. The development of each character is fantastic and you know them and their personalities inside out. This is a novel about what it is like to live inside a prison of the mind and how to break out of it - if you can.
