I care a lot more about the characters and their stories this time which makes my problems with the email interludes SO much more frustrating actually

Already more tolerable to 22 year old me but the structure still doesn't hit with me, makes for a tricky reading experience (for me), switching constantly between complex sociological essay type paragraphs that don't feel necessarily tailored to the characters 'writing them' (as opposed to feeling like a vessel for Rooney) and then back to very classic-rooney mundane (non-derogatory) stream of consciousness writing.
