I enjoyed reading Marianne's and Connell's story. they felt raw and unpolished and real, but their miscommunication drove me mad and the ending of their story left me rather unsatisfied.

I liked reading about Marianne and how deeply her
Connellâs decisions to hide his relationship with Marianne and his later feelings of isolation in college directly connects to the title of this book and goes to show how much being perceived as ânot normalâ can affect someoneâs life.
The no quotation marks thing threw me off at first, but it wasnât too bothersome
It was a sadder book than I anticipated. It got kind of redundant near the middle, with the constant miscommunication between the 2 main characters, but I enjoyed the ending.
Graphic: Physical abuse
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
