My first thoughts on Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney are classy, bougie, ratchet. So basically it’s perfect. When university students Frances and Bobbi begin spending time with Melissa and Nick, a semi-famous older married couple, unexpected bonds are formed. The young women are drawn to the lifestyle and immaculate home of the seductive older couple. The beautiful and self-assured Bobbi is drawn to Melissa and the quieter, poetry writing Frances is drawn to Nick, even though she’s only ever been intimate with women (including Bobbi). Relationships are tested and jealousy abounds. Will these 4 ever recover?

It’s an old tradition that during a leap year women could propose to men. This was usually depicted as old or ugly women trapping men, but some art focused more on the role reversal and could be quite cute.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the last one because it plays on the idea of “undesirable” people, a tall masculine woman and a shy effeminate man, finding each other but instead of mocking them depicts it as sweet that she could finally ask him because he was too shy and insecure to ask her.
What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
