I WISH I knew millennials who wrote emails like this. 
 
I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but I’m so glad my expectations were upended. Rooney writes with such generous, close observance, deftly threading the needle between ironic distance and saccharine melodrama. It’s not hard to care for the weirdos in this novel, even as they sometimes seem bent on their own crumbling. Also, as a person of faith, kind of fun to see some cool Christian representation—something almost as rare in the real world as it is in literary fiction.

I liked it at first, but it went on a little too long and the longer it went on the less likeable I found the characters. Maybe that’s supposed to be the case?
