I think I got my Marianne and Connell content in the wrong order. I started with the Hulu short series, which I watched in that first summer when everyone was watching it. Then I read Normal People in January, and finally, I've come to this story. First of all, I love Sally Rooney's writing style. I don't think this story was as moving as some of her others, but her writing! Each word is so perfectly and thoughtfully placed. She can make mundane settings absolutely extraordinary.
