What does Sally Rooney actually write about?

Her characters are young people from the artistic and intellectual circles of modern Ireland. They meet, discuss, have fun, but also struggle with everyday problems, illnesses and conflicts with loved ones. They often talk via instant messaging, texting and e-mail, compulsively browse social media and are active on Tinder.
Everyday life described in a surprisingly intriguing and engaging way is Rooney's 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.
