Normal People: The Scripts by Sally Rooney
5.0
"I'll go..."
"And I'll stay. And we'll be okay."
Normal People is one of my two favourite books and the TV-show is also incredible. They've both altered my brain chemistry in a million ways and Sally Rooney's work touches my soul in ways I can't describe. So, of course I needed to read this while re-watching the show because I like to suffer and I can't enjoy anything if it doesn't make my heart hurt in a million different ways.
I want to protect Marianne and Connell in a bell jar. Until then, I'll cry thinking about them (and the way I'm writing this while listening to Moon Song by Phoebe Bridgers... the girls that get it, get it).
p.s.: as if I needed more reassurance, 2023 will be the year that I'll finally get a tattoo dedicated to Normal People.
