I haven't read Sally Rooney but will have to give it a try. I like the way you describe a book as an alternate consciousness. I love those books where I am totally lost in the book and when I stop reading it takes me a minute to get back to my current environment. I just spent a couple of days rereading The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store where I felt I was living on Chicken Hill among those characters.
Such a great perspective!
Looks like everyone in Chicago is reading it, because there is a long list of people waiting for any version in the library!
