The dialogue and writing correspondence between the two main characters took centre stage in this novel, and Rooney displays  
her brilliance in creating really intense episodes of emotional conflict. Plot certainly takes a back seat but I thought its slow pace resembled the mundane and fleeting nature of the (beautiful?) every day very effectively.
