She writes well but the lack of communication between  the characters became a touch infuriating after a while.

This book was written beautifully. Although descriptive, there was never a single moment when I was bored or reading diagonally to get to the of a discription of a table or something uninteresting. What this book describes in detain isn’t sceneries or a very compelling plot, but mostly the very complex relationship between two people. 
I thought it was beautiful.

You peeps really have to start reading fanfiction so you don't glorify a badly written misscomunication trope.
