Her characters are young people from the artistic and intellectual

compulsively browse social media and are active on Tinder.
Everyday life described in a surprisingly intriguing and engaging way is
her trademark. In addition, the writer undoubtedly has a very definite
style, which from the first sentences of the books you can either love
or hate. She writes disarmingly simply.Rooney describes the story in
meticulous detail, at times humorously, with great emphasis on emotions
and brilliant dialogues. Rooney's books contain socially important
topics, show the real dilemmas of the transition from adolescence to
adulthood, and at the same time present intellectual considerations that
make you think. And while their plots deal with the social and love
struggles of specific characters, Rooney places them in the context of
broader issues of class, gender and sexual inequality.
