![]() ![]() The drama surrounding these pairs bubbles into a complicated messiness that seems to bear down on Frances the most (and she’s also the narrator so her perspective in enlarged). The pair of couples turn into several dynamics: Frances and Bobbi, Melissa and Nick, Frances and Nick and Bobbi and Melissa. Frances, in the meantime, experiences the same pull towards Nick, an actor who doesn’t express his feelings very well. As Melissa begins to write a profile on the poet-bestfriends, Bobbi becomes increasingly drawn towards her. The novel is narrated entirely from Frances’ point of view, starting from the day their paths cross with Melissa and Nick. The heart of the story revolves around Frances and Bobbi, best friends and poets, and Melissa and Nick, a married couple who are minor celebrities in their own right. So skip this book if that might affect you. Note: One thing people don’t tell you is the intermittent self-harm the narrator, Frances, inflicts upon herself. Naturally, affected by the rosy praise surrounding this novel, I really wanted to be part of the club that loves this book so much. The story was not what I expected, but I moved on from that quite quickly and took it for what it was. My experience with CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS has left a weird taste in my mouth.
