"I realised my life would be full of mundane physical suffering, and that there was nothing special about it. Suffering wouldn't make me special, and pretending not to suffer wouldn't make me special. Talking about it, or even writing about it, would not transform the suffering into something useful. Nothing would."

به اندازه "آدم های معمولی" دوستش نداشتم ولی خیلی از مطالعه اش لذت بردم، سبکی که سلی رونی می‌نویسه در ظاهر خیلی ساده و حتی تا اندازه‌ای خنثی به نظر میرسه ولی از نظر من این نوع نوشتن تعریف دقیق عبارت "سهل ممتنع" هست. با ساده ترین حالت ممکن و حتی جملاتی که شاید در نگاه اول بی معنی به نظر برسن توانایی این رو داره که عمیق ترین احساسات و حالات روحی شخصیت هارو به مخاطب منتقل کنه از احساسات و حالاتی حرف میزنم که شاید خیلی از نویسنده‌ها غیرقابل توصیف وصفش کنند. از نظر من استایل سلی رونی مثل یک رودخانه خیلی کوچک میمونه آرام و جاری.

I did not care about any of these characters! They were all generally unlikable. I really tried to finish this but it felt like a chore to read. The dialogue felt plodding and not true to life. Hoping I like Normal People more.

I really love how difficult the relationships are in Sally Rooney books. It makes them feel so relatable and gets me to think. I wish Nick had been a little more likable but I still really enjoyed this book.
