Her best friend is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, they meet a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into her world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman's sophisticated home and handsome husband, Nick. But however amusing Frances and Nick's flirtation seems at first, it begins to give way to a strange--and then painful--intimacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with gemlike precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, \u003ci\u003eConversations with Friends\u003c\/i\u003e is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Sharp, funny, thought-provoking . . . a really great portrait of two young women as they're figuring out how to be adults.\"\u003cb\u003e--Celeste Ng, \u003ci\u003eLate Night with Seth Meyers Podcast\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The dialogue is superb, as are the insights about communicating in the age of electronic devices.

She is acute and sophisticated about the workings of innocence; the protagonist of this novel about growing up has no idea just how much of it she has left to do.\"\u003cb\u003e--Alexandra Schwartz, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This book.
