The other thing that comes to mind is how much young people hate email these days. So, it's definitely a book for a certain generation.
I haven't finished reading my first Sally Rooney yet. Unfortunately it was recommended to me by a guy I saw for a while, and then, just before I realized what a dud he was, also observed that he used that rec as a pickup line with just about everyone. I was so grossed out, that I never got back to the book. I'll have to overcome my ickiness and read it in spite of his using Rooney as a wingman.

Thanks for this review! I had been going back and forth about reading this book given its intense presence everywhere but now I’m going to hold off.
