Rooney is purely a manufactured celebrity. She is being marketed with some serious capital and that's the reason why she is popular. It doesn't matter whether she's good or not (she isn't), she's getting millions of normie readers anyway simply because she's the most advertised writer ever.

So even though you know you hate her books, you continue to read them? Even her most recent one? I find that incredibly hard to believe, unless you’re wilfully masochistic and/or retarded.

I freely admit I haven’t read anything by her, but I’m also not pretending I have for the sole purpose of shitting on her books.

If by “Bieber equivalent” you mean one-of-a-kind entertainer with enough teen sex appeal to make young girls cream in their seats like they did for The Beatles, then no, it’s not a very apt comparison. Whatever you think of him, Bieber is genuinely talented and the amount of listeners he gets cannot be attributed to his publicist alone.

She is fine. Rooney isn't half bad when she is just doing relationship drama and people having sex. The problem is when Rooney tries to get political, to give social commentary, to "say something". Her latest novel had chapters that were just emails between the two protagonists where they talk about "the real world and shit". It was very transparent that these chapters were there just as a vehicle so that Rooney could share her not-at-all unique views on the world.
Regarding your question, Rooney very clearly is ripping off Salinger's style, so maybe this bitch you're after could be into Salinger and other stuff.

I just finished "Beautiful World.." and it sucked ass. At least it was a quick read, but god, what a load of insufferable characters. Sally Rooney thinks she's so deep talking about capitalism like she's the first person ever to find flaws in it. So adolescent it's ridiculous. The sex scenes were awful as well. Characters started having complex dialogues and full on therapy sessions whilst one of them had their dick in the other's pussy. Truly amateurish stuff.

girl you like doesn't have to like and dislike exactly the same things as you. as someone who has had a /lit/ gf, it's cool at first but doesn't provide any sort of foundation for an actual relationship. it's not something to strive for, more just a nice bonus if someone is already compatible with you. does she like anything that you like too? imo people are allowed have their things they enjoy that are bad, i would focus on the things you do have in common instead of dwelling on the fact that she likes some shitty book that wasn't even written with you as the audience.
