For those who have been searching for the emotional highs and lows Normal People dragged them on, have a little treat on me. Not only is this cover stunning, the book itself is an addicting examination of love and betrayal, art and capitalism and how little morality will get you in a system designed by the wealthy. I felt oddly attached to each of the central four characters, even through their flaws and mistakes. Despite a bit of predictability, I love books that seek to unpack the utter hypocrisy central to the various systems of art under capitalism, and this really hit the spot.
