5.0

What makes Normal People such a standout book is how real it is. It feels more like hearing a friend tell a story than reading. Everything from the descriptions of mental health, heartbreak, love, and everything in between just feels so realistic. There comes a point in reading where readers can almost forget this is fiction.
