Sally Rooney Declines TV Adaptation for Third Novel

The acclaimed author decides to let 'Beautiful World, Where Are You' remain solely a book, citing the need for a break from TV adaptations.

Sally Rooney has opted not to accept offers to adapt her third novel, 'Beautiful World, Where Are You,' into a TV series.
Rooney expressed a desire to let the book 'be its own thing' and to take a break from the television adaptation process.
Her previous adaptations, 'Normal People' and 'Conversations with Friends,' had varying levels of success and media attention.
Rooney felt overwhelmed by the discourse and media attention generated by 'Normal People,' and chose not to be heavily involved in the second adaptation.
Her fourth novel, 'Intermezzo,' which explores the lives of two brothers dealing with grief, is set to be released this week.
