The way Sally Rooney writes dialogue without quotation marks —it’s just fragments in the whole of the story— is something I love. And I always take note of it with her writing. Even though it confuses me sometimes, too. It quickens the pace of the story. It has this breathy feeling like talking to someone. Not to mention, the way she captures relationships and intimacy. It’s so naturalistic.
