Her four novels, which have been translated into more than 47 languages, have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, and she is regarded as one of the foremost millennial writers. ''Time'' named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022.

Her novels have become bestsellers in China and the United States. Rooney has also written several short fictions and poems. In recognition for her work, she received the Costa Book Award and the Irish Book Award in 2018, and the Encore Award in 2019.
