i appreciated the email chapters for the insight into Alice and Eileen's friendship, but not for the philosophical commentary—it came off as lazy writing to explicate the novel's themes. at least it was in conversation, allowing for input and disagreement from another character.

Similarly, Rooney uses commas extremely sparingly, especially when they are needed. It's not to say she DOESN'T use commas- because she does- but there needs to be more. I sometimes find myself having to reread some parts or retrace to the beginning of the sentence to make out where the pauses (commas!) are supposed to be.
Love the philosophical commentary! I can relate to those parts.
