A review by carynlemon
Normal People by Sally Rooney

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Good read! The syntax took a bit getting used to as the dialog was not in quotation marks and the first few pages has a lot of back and forth between two characters. But I adjusted midway through the second chapter. After that, I found the book hard to put down. It was a quick read! I wasn’t thrilled with the ending, but it was a gripping story and captured my attention.

A coming of age tale of class, peer pressure, and an exploration in why people behave the way they do.
