Members Quiz – How well do you know Sally Rooney’s books?
Members Quiz – How well do you know Sally Rooney’s books?
Think you know Sally Rooney’s work inside out? It’s time to put your knowledge to the test.
This quiz is for the ones who’ve read Conversations with Friends, Normal People and Beautiful World, Where Are You cover-to-cover. The ones who crack the spines and have obsessively tabbed up their copies. This is for the ones taking photos of their favourite quotes to share with friends.
We’ve curated a selection of quotes that perfectly capture her sharp, intimate voice, including fan favourites – all you have to do is match them to the right novel.
Whether you’re a Frances devotee, a Connell and Marianne loyalist, rooting for Peter and Ivan to work through their sibling drama, or captivated by Alice and Eileen’s emails, this is your chance to test your memory and prove your devotion.
P.S. Don’t forget to share it with your friends!

Members Quiz - How well do you know Sally Rooney’s books?
Casual reader
Why not pick up the paperback of Intermezzo (out now), revisit Normal People, or finally dive into Beautiful World, Where Are You? There’s so much more to discover (and underline obsessively).
Keen fan
You’re more than just a casual reader – you know the rhythms of Rooney’s dialogue, the slow burn of her relationships, and those devastating one-liners. You’ve probably read a few novels and picked up on some recurring themes. A few quotes may have tripped you up, but a re-read might just turn you into a full-on Rooney oracle.
Rooney devotee
Impressive! You’ve clearly spent hours in the world of Frances, Connell, Marianne, Alice and Eileen – annotating, re-reading, probably crying a bit. You know the quotes and you’ve probably got a secret favourite character (it’s not Connell’s chain). Just one or two mistakes? Blame it on heartbreak.
The ultimate Rooney scholar
Flawless. Iconic. You probably have the bucket hat. Not a single quote got past you; every line clearly lives rent-free in your head. You are the person this quiz was made for: a meticulous reader with a deep, possibly obsessive, love for all things Rooney. You’ve officially earned the right to call yourself a super fan.
