Sally Rooney’s first novel Conversations with Friends has been adapted into a 12-part series, following the recording breaking success of its predecessor, Normal People (based on Rooney’s second book).
The series centres on students and best friends Frances (newcomer Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (American Honey’s Sasha Lane), who are seduced by the glamorous, adult world of writer Melissa (Sex Education’s Jemima Kirke) and her handsome husband Nick (The Favourite’s Joe Alwyn), as the group forms a complicated ‘ménage à quatre’
In addition to verbal sparring and sun-drenched scenes as the four go on holiday, the series also has a dreamy soundtrack, boasting a brand new song by Phoebe Bridgers, titled sidelines, which she penned especially for the series.
Read on for the Conversations with Friends soundtrack.
