It takes a while for you to really dive in, probably around a quarter in, at first it veers towards the Young Adult novels, it's a first person 21 yo describing her friends and college life, but then it starts digging in, on what constitutes relationships the power-play and dynamic of a conversation, i like how at times instead of writing the dialogue, the main character describes it as a fight or dance, a very aptly named novel.
I really enjoyed it, i enjoy Rooney's characters and how they interact, it's basically what her novels are, people interacting without any major events happening. Basically life is happening and it's complicated as it is.
