A review by pyoung
Normal People by Sally Rooney

reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I never reread books.

This is my only exception in the great words of Paramore.

I don't know how Sally Rooney does it, but she makes stories and the people in them feel so alive. It feels like I know Marianne and Connel in real life.

All my annotations from this book: (!SPOILERS!)
